Founded in 1800 in Broad Street Works by Richard Dudson (b.1768 - d.1833). A second business was opened at the Hope Street works in 1809, which was run by his son, Thomas (b.1786 - d.1845) until his death. Richard's grandson, James (b.1812 - d.1882) then took over the company and ran that until his death. By 1851 they were employing 33 people. On the death of his father James, James Thomas Dudson, the great grandson of the founder, became the owner of the Hope Street factory and business. By 1898 the company had become Dudson Brothers. Today the company is known as Dudson Ltd. and is run by the eighth generation of Dudsons, Ian Dudson.
