1932: Bush Radio was founded from the remains of the 'Amplion' company and started trading as a subsidiary to the 'Gaumont British Picture Corporation'. Bush Radio were originally based at Sherperds Bush in London - the location of their first works providing the name of the company.
Later Bush passed into the hands of the 'Rank' Organisation and became one of the major British radio manufacturers.
