Vulcan Motors
Vulcan Motors Ltd, of Maidstone
1937 J. Brockhouse and Co acquired the entire share capital of Vulcan Motor and Engineering Co of Southport; the purchased would use the Vulcan works for general engineering but would take steps to maintain production of the Vulcan chassis[1] which they did by selling the rights to the motor vehicle side of the business[2] to Tilling-Stevens of Maidstone, Kent. Vulcan Works was renamed Brockhouse Engineering (Southport)[3]
1950 Tilling-Stevens was taken over by the Rootes Group and a new 7 tonner appeared at that year's Commercial Motor Show in London.
Rootes had their own established commercial makes in Commer and Karrier and both Vulcan and Tilling-Stevens vanished finally in 1953.
1953 Controlled by Tilling-Stevens Sales Manager: F. M. S. Best. Service Manager: F. J. Hughes.
