Slim pickings

Passing Travis Perkins (builders' merchants) the other day, the thought occurred: I wonder how many other UK companies have names that sound as if they belong to country and western singers?

Probably loads, I thought, but so far I have only come up with Ward Goodman (a Dorset firm of accountants). Curtis Brown (a literary agency) initially appealed, but really he sounds more in the Chicago blues sort of line.

Anyone else got any contributions?

  1. Eddie Stobart! Should be rolling straight to Guitar Town. With the hammer down. Thanks Marco Rossi on Facebook.
    Not sure about Conrad Ritblat though; I think he would have changed his name...
