Pinkspoons:
Does anyone know anything about Edward Bowman & Son, Ltd.?

They were the sole agent for Holmegaard in the UK c.late 1950s - mid 1960s. They don't appear to be trading anymore, and there's not even a glimmer of a hint of a mention of them via Google.

I've no idea on how to chase up defunct businesses, it's a new one on me.

Any help, gratefully received.

Frank:
Try http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ when it is back on line, but they do not have full coverage  :( unless you visit.

in 1953 address: 118, Holborn EC1
in 1963 were agents for Holmegaard, Hadeland, Flygsfors, Villeroy & Boch. Address: Gamage Building, London EC1

Pinkspoons:
Thanks for that, Frank.

I'd noticed that the Companies House website was down, but a few similar sites found no mention of them (Bowman & Son). Hopefully the site will yield something when it gets resurrected!  ;D

I know from old HG adverts that they were still at Gamage Building in 1969.

Sklounion:
Hi Nic,
I'll have a chat with one of my contacts and see what he can tell me regarding the company.
Regards,
Marcus

Sklounion:
Nic,
There is still an E.Bowman and Sons Ltd, but unlikely as they are builders. How certain is the "Limited" part?
Regards,
Marcus
