Maybrey Reliance
Heritage
We can trace the company's history to 1839 when George England founded the Hatcham Iron Works and started his company George England and Company. The first products produced were screwjacks and weaving machines but soon, George England started to produce railway locomotives.
One of his early locomotives ‘Little England’, won a Gold Medal for Excellence at The Great Exhibition of 1851.
George was joined by the renowned locomotive engineer Francis Fairlie in the 1860s. At the turn of the century, the company became the General Engineering & Boiler Company.
In 1935, Reliance Foundry was formed and ran alongside the General Engine and Boiler Company at the Hatcham Iron Works in New Cross, South London.
Reliance Foundry took over all manufacturing at its new factory in Greenwich in 1975. In 1986, Mr Douglas Hills was invited to purchase the Reliance Foundry to merge it with his company, the Hills Diecasting Company of Sydenham, South East London.
In 2002, Maybrey Precision Castings of Lower Sydenham was purchased and Maybrey Reliance was formed.
