When I first came to Bedworth my neighbour asked if I wanted a job.I didn't as I had a new baby, but needed the money.The job which I took entailed changing this company's ' filing system' to Toye Kenning and Spencer.Every badge and ribbon they had ever made was stitched onto a card with details hand written--boxes and boxes full. I did it at home and took about 6 months.Before then it was called Kennings.They delivered the boxes to my house and sometimes I took them back on the bottom of my big pram-just wheeled it into the factory which was a 200 years old decrepit place.
What a job and just when I needed it most.
Later when I had my business I supplied them with silks.
Good to know they are still going and doing well.

It's great to see a local company getting the annual order: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/new-year-honours-bedworth-firms-8356881
