F Reddaway & Co

Originally established in 1874 as F Reddaway, the company changed its name to F Reddaway & Co in 1892, following a merger with Kerr & Jubb of Halifax and an issue of public stock. The company manufactured machine belting, canvas hose and india rubber goods and, from around 1899, was famous for its Camel Brand belting. From 1914, the company also manufactured rubber hosing. By 1961, F Reddaway & Co was listed in Dun & Bradstreet's Key British Enterprises as belting and hose manufacturers, specialising in camel hair power transmission belting, rubber and textile conveyor belting and high pressure hydraulic hoses.
