My Granfather was a spring maker and I have been told that he worked at Richard Berry's. Can anyone tell me anything about this company?

Hi Maggie, In 1959 I was a lorry driver for Richard Berry in Alma Street covering the whole country delivering new & repaired springs mainly for haulage & bus companies, collecting broken springs for repair at the same time. We only had three lorries. I left after a few months because the pay was very poor and others paid more. While I was there the firm was taken over by J. Brockhouse of Hill Top in West Bromwich and very soon all work was moved to there. About 1960.My Granfather was a spring maker and I have been told that he worked at Richard Berry's. Can anyone tell me anything about this company?
