About us
The Squire family have been making locks in Willenhall for over 300 years, but it was not until March 1927 that A & E Squire Ltd was originally founded as a partnership by two brothers, Alzo & Elroy Squire.
They began part-time working in a brick outbuilding at the back of their parent’s house at 1 Little Lane, Short Heath, Willenhall, Staffordshire. Like many of their neighbours the brothers were outworkers, working in the early morning and in the evening when they had finished working in the lock factories of Willenhall.
