Valor Company Ltd. was founded in Birmingham in 1890, initially producing oil storage cabinets for the Anglo-American Oil Company diversifying its production to portable oil heaters, which became very popular for heating homes and later gas heaters and fireplaces, as well as other items such as lawnmowers and fire extinguishers merged with Yale Lock Company in 1987, forming Yale & Valor and underwent a series of acquisitions and spin-offs until being purchased by Williams Holdings in 1991 and subsequently integrated into the Glen Dimplex Group.
I worked there for four and a half very happy years. Christmas there was always wonderful, where we would all gather at the pub across the road and spread the joys of Christmas.
