  • He later had new premises built in the Art Deco style on the A1 just to the north of Hatfield, at a site that became known as Oldings Island. (now demolished) The firm held dealership franchises for several brands of car as well being the sole UK importer for Caterpillar machinery. After the war, partly because of government pressure caused by a shortage of dollars, he made an ultimately unsuccessful gamble by relinquishing the Caterpillar agency for what proved to be the less successful Vickers VR tractor (Vigor). Indeed, the company is recognised as the only Caterpillar dealer to voluntarily give up the franchise. On his death control of the company passed to Scottish Land Development.
