In 1868 Simpson opened a coachbuilding business in Brechin and the Montrose enterprise was taken over by the partnership of Duthie & Inglis. David Inglis died in 1888. James A. Duthie was brought into the business and was admitted to partnership in 1897, at which point the firm became Duthie & Son.
