Buzzer:
Hi Dean I think A.E Gough & Sons hailed from Micheldever near Winchester, also I went to Agricultural college in Wiltshire with Tim Brown the son of George T.Brown, Buzzer

Thanks for your comment Buzzer .There must be 2 A.E.Gough’s as that one came from Mid Wale’s according to Trevor. :wink:

Maggie Deutz maybe?

Square Grip specialised in concrete reinforcement steelwork - ‘re-bar’ for short. I know that during the 1980’s their Hq was at Colnebrook, and they had a site in Sittingbourne too.Cheers, Keith

Thanks for the info Keith :smiley: Could be a Maggie.

Mark R:
“Buzzer”]
Square Grip had a yard in Eastleigh just along from Lamberts, delivered straight bar in there a few times as a return load from Isle of Sheppy after tipping fruit in Kent Buzzer.
My dad used to deliver to Square Grip at Eastleigh & Colnbrook when he worked out of Sheerness Steel… I don’t recall a place in Sittingbourne though, even though I live there!

Thanks for the info “Buzzer and Mark R” :wink:

tvdriver:
Freightliner.What would you call that a “B train” ■■

moomooland:
Square Grip had premises in Oldham near Alexandra Park…
This company was founded in 1934 by Frank Henman the brother of Philip Henman who founded the national road haulage and warehousing company, the Transport Development Group.
Square Grip manufactured twisted high tensile steel for concrete reinforcement with Philip Henman providing the financial backing and advice.

Cheers Paul. :wink:

I’d agree with that. This is the only rear view of a Maggie cab I can find:

They supplied a lot of reinforcing for the channel tunnel

Good stuff logger you forget how time flys just looked and the channel tunnel opened in 1994. :smiley:

HRS:
Morning all,
Square grip Eastleigh was the main “bending station” straight bars in. Used students a lot, as once you set up the jig it was just repetative stuff but quite physical work. Had a few Volvo’s though. Harvey.

:wink:

Chris Webb:
The only BFC initials that spring to my mind are British Fuel Company,but I don’t know if they did general haulage.

Thanks Chris but i think “robthedog” has the right one chap. :wink:
