Fleet Cycle Co
of Selly Oak, Birmingham
1898 Accles Ltd went into liquidation. The Lu-mi-num Manufacturing Co, in liquidation later that year, had previously placed a large order with Accles for cycle frames; the Accles' receiver had written to shareholders in Lu-mi-num Manufacturing Co that he had taken possession of the business but this did not include Fleet Cycle Co Ltd [1]. The Fleet Cycle Co was later wound up [2].
1901 The Fleet Cycle Company Limited was registered, with capital of £2,000, to carry on the business of cycle, motor carriage and general manufacturers and merchants, mechanical engineers, machinists, fitters, millwrights, founders, tube makers, metallurgists, saddlers, galvanisers, japanners, annealers, enamellers, electro-platers, painters, and packing case makers.[3]
