See Joseph Percy Dean and brothers William Burden and Albert Burden
1902 Joseph Percy Dean was the son of Chitterne farmers, Joseph and Louisa Dean. In 1902 he provided most of the capital of £3800 for a new venture with William and Albert Burden, previously clockmakers of Salisbury, to make motor engines. A new company was founded called Dean and Burden Brothers, motor engineers. Their premises were the Excelsior Works in the Friary, Salisbury, where clockmaking continued as well as the manufacture of motor boat and motor cycle engines. Percy Dean became a director of the company and their chief test driver.[1]
Later became Scout Motors
