R D Brookes and son was on Hurricane Way. They were......

Stove enamelers . Nothing to do with stoves.

Basically industrial paint sprayers and shot blasters..

They went bust in the late 80s. The owner had a son Paul Brookes who might still be around.
Paul was presented with a car at a game once by his dad (Rodney) I think that was around 1984
