The company was sold to British Steel plc in 1989 for a fee in excess of £300million - which helped fund Jack Walker's takeover of Blackburn Rovers in early 1991. By this time, the steel company was achieving profits worth close to £50million a year, though the onset of the recession saw the steel market suffer a major slump.

The brand was revived in 1999, by Jack Walker’s son Howard Walker and his partner Graham Walsh.^[1]
