150 Year Anniversary Brochure

Celebrating
150
years
It is with great pride and pleasure that we publish this
anniversary brochure.
I trust that you will find both the historical and current
activities sections of the brochure interesting and informative.
It would have been impossible for Joseph Henry Fenner to
imagine that the Company he founded in rented rooms at
number 211/2 Bishop Lane in Hull, England, would be the
birthplace of an international group with major operations on
six continents – but then Fenner has come a long way since
1861.
Here’s to the next 150 years!
MARK ABRAHAMS
Chief Executive Officer
The progress we have made would not have been possible
without the dedication and loyalty of our employees,
especially the 750+ who have served the Company for over
15 years. We also recognise the significant role played by
our customers, shareholders, suppliers, agents and distributors
worldwide.

FENNER PLC 150 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
1
Extracts from the Minutes of Board meetings
of JH Fenner & Co Ltd. from 1937 to 1946
26th November 1937
The appointment of Mr J.T. Llewellyn as Secretary
of the Company was confirmed at a salary of £600
per annum as from 1st July 1937.
10th March 1938
It was resolved to bring into operation an
arrangement whereby at time of marriage, Members of
the Company’s Staff would receive from the
Company a Gift, the value of which would be
calculated approximately upon the following basis –
a) A gift to the approximate value of £2 for the first
two years’ service and 5 shillings for each
subsequent year of service.
b) No gift to be made to any member of the Staff
with less than two years’ service.
10th January 1940
It was resolved that, at least for the period of the
War, Doubling Plant, Weaving Plant and
approximately 10 looms should be transferred to the
Heckmondwike Works.
1st May 1940
It was resolved to adopt the principle of ‘Holidays
with Pay’ in substitution of the ‘Time-keeping and
Service Bonus’ operating hitherto and to work out a
scheme applicable to the whole Works and Group.
19th December 1940
Staff War Bonus – After discussion, it was decided
to bring into operation as from 1st January 1941 a
further increase of 5% upon current staff salary
payments.
30th January 1941
G. W. Fenner – Mr C. Bradshaw (Auditor) stated
that he had received a letter from Mr L. Fenner
requesting that his son might be given a seat on the
Emergency Board of Control. The letter was given
full consideration and it was decided that no addition
should be made at present.
30th January 1941
Overdraft – In view of the impending Tax charges,
it was realised that the Credit Balance of the
Company would shortly disappear. It was decided
that, if necessary, the Company’s Account would go
into overdraft and the Chairman arranged to take up
this matter with the Midland Bank Limited in order
to ascertain the amount of Overdraft that they would
sanction without security.
25th June 1941
It was resolved to grant to Mrs C. Hobbs a Pension
of 10 shillings per week upon her retirement from
service with the Company over a period of nearly 30
years.
2
24th February 1942
It was decided to reward by gifts of £5 per head the
members of the Company’s Fire Fighting Squad on
duty on the night of February 14/15th, when their
efforts minimised the effects of an attempt by a
discharged employee to set fire to Company property.
1st February 1943
Mr J. H. Fenner suggested that, as the Directors’ cars
are now being used exclusively for running the Firm’s
business, with consequent smaller mileage and
correspondingly higher general running charges, the
calculation for mileage charge might be increased from
3 1/2d to 6d per mile. This was agreed by the board.
6th June 1944
Mr Hainsworth reported the case of a girl employed in
the Colne Factory – Gladys Wagner – who died
suddenly whilst at home in Hull over the Whit
weekend; the girl was a good worker and had
rendered excellent service to the Company; she sent
money home every week as her family circumstances
were rather poor. He recommended for consideration of
the Board that a Grant of, say, £20 be made to the
girl’s parents. It was agreed that a Grant of £20 be
made as suggested.
4th July 1944
It was recorded that the number of Pensioners had
been reduced during the month to seven by the death of
H. Roe.
7th November 1944
Conveyor Belting. This is a product that might well
come within our capacity, though no decision has yet
been reached, pending further investigations into the
profit margin to be expected.
3rd May 1945
New products. Samples of a few articles which were
nearing perfection in the laboratory were submitted
including: Oil seals; samples of woven belting treated
with PVC; and an experimental belt made for heat
resistance.
The Chairman stated that May 4th was the 70th
birthday of the Company’s oldest traveller
(representative) John Fryer and he thought the
Directors would like to be associated with him in
sending him a telegram conveying our best wishes.
This was unanimously agreed.
9th January 1946
The Managing Director reported having placed an
order for the following company cars:- Four
Standard 12’s at £505 each; three Morris 10’s at
£377 each; four Austin 8’s at £328 each; and 2
Standard 8’s at £313 each.
Extracts from the Chairman’s Statements given
at the first, second and third Ordinary General
Meetings held in Hull
August 30th 1938
In spite of ministerial and other assurances that ‘all
was well’ a general and severe slump set in amongst
practically all but the armament trades, and this
setback has now been in evidence throughout 1938.
Apart from recession of Home business, there has been
serious setbacks in some of our Foreign Markets. For
instance, the effect of the undeclared war on China by
Japanese aggressors has been to bring virtually to a
stand-still all belt using industries and has robbed us
of one of our most important belting markets. We have
heard that the Japanese have destroyed no fewer than
six thousand Chinese industrial plants since the
invasion commenced. Our Government appears to be
standing by whilst the Japanese complete the ruin of
an important outlet for British goods built up at
great cost over many years.
Having previously been the first firm in the world to
impregnate solid-woven belts with latex rubber, we
now have the advantage of being, so far as we know,
the first firm to make both V-ropes and pulleys in its
own works.
What has the future to promise us? He would need to
be a soothsayer to forecast how long it may be before
the present general slump fades and a steady trade
recovery sets in. All normal methods of judging
prospects on the basis of recognised trade cycles are
nullified in these days by the whims of Dictators in
other countries.
August 30th 1939
revolutionary belts drew after them indifferent
imitations made by methods on the fringe of our
patented processes.
Following the Munich Crisis last September, a
concrete trench-system has been laid down on our own
land adjacent to the Works and classes of instruction
in A.R.P. Defence have been held in order to
minimise the damage to our employees that might be
caused by air raids during working hours.
If, last year, the future was difficult to forecast, this
year such a task must be left to clairvoyants; what we
all need now more than anything else is a period of
genuine tranquillity undisturbed by the evils of
rampant militarism and continuous sabre-rattling.
November 28th 1940
Regarding the Firm’s operations generally during
the past year, it is not possible to speak in much
detail, owing to restrictions quite rightly imposed on
the broadcasting of information that might be of use
to the enemy.
Although certain shipments have failed to reach their
destination, the volume of our manufactures which
have found their way across the seas bears striking
testimony to the tenacity of our merchant shipping
and the protection afforded by our Navy.
None can foretell what lies ahead, but we shall all
hope fervently that, by the time we hold our next
Annual Meeting, the heavy burden of war may have
been lifted from us and the foundations of a durable
peace may be taking shape.
Certain Export Markets, like China, have remained
almost stagnant and one cannot expect any
improvement from that quarter until the Far East is
no longer a battleground, and the peaceful Chinese
have been allowed to resume their normal tasks.
Our latex-rubber impregnated woven beltings
continue to give excellent service and attract a
steadily widening circle of users. Naturally, these

The recovery of English industry from the commercial crisis of
In 1861, Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, was a
fast-developing town of some 100,000 people and it was here
in June of that year that Joseph Henry Fenner, aged 25, a
journeyman currier, opened his business in rented, subdivided
premises at 21½ Bishop Lane.
1866-67 resulted in a period of rapid growth, especially in the
iron and engineering industries, and this culminated in an
exceptional boom in 1872-73. The Company moved to larger
premises in Chapel Lane, the next street to Bishop Lane, in 1874.
It was this period that was decisive in setting the Company firmly
on its feet.
In the beginning he was willing to do any business connected
with leather including hose pipe and strap manufacture and
leather dressing. The earliest record of an official order is for 50
feet of leather hose at two shillings and six pence per foot in
4
1868.

The Company moved more into the production of leather
transmission belting to meet the demand created by the rapid
industrial growth and by 1877 the Company was also offering a
wide range of other products including woven hair and walrus
hide beltings and seamless woven canvas hose.
