The History of Kent Engineers
|
| R A Kent Engineering was
founded in 1965 by the late Robert A Kent. The
present owner, Robert S Kent, son of R A Kent,
joined the firm in 1971, and took over the management
of the firm in 1988. The company was originally
based in Banks, Southport, but moved to purpose
built premises in Tarleton, Preston, in 1982. |
| |
| We were mainly a general precision engineering
firm until 1983, when we started the design and
production of Morse code keys. Over the following
five years, the Morse key manufacture virtually
took over the business, and the mainstay of the
business today is still the design and manufacture
of Morse code keys. We have always been a family
run business, with various members of the family,
including the two sons of the present owner, taking
an active part in the business. |
