Correct Tom. Fishers was established by my maternal grandfather in Glasgow in 1934 and where I started my apprenticeship in 1948. He had safes made for him and badged Fishers by a company called Lees in Sedgley. The protective claims mentioned on the plate were extreme in the least.
After the war the company became sole agents for the Ratner Safe Company for Scotland and Northern Ireland. We became agents for Stephen Cox, also of Sedgley, and finally the agent for the newly formed Stratford Safe Company in 1962, eventually becoming part of the J.W.Levy Group the following year when we continued to trade as Fishers. In 1970, John Tann (Scotland) was formed and operated alongside Fishers dealing solely with the Scottish Banks.
