Does anyone know when Spiers of Melksham was established?

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.

Does anyone know when Spiers of Melksham was established?

Hello,

I'm trying to do some research into now gone companies, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me when Spiers of Melksham was established? Does anyone know if it was before 1939?

Would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thanks for reading and best wishes!
