Talk:Edward John Dent

The company still continues under changed names, ownerships, and locations:

"Daniel Patrick Buckney became managing director in 1956, resigning in 1968, thus ending the Buckney connection. K A G Butcher became managing director in 1968 and in 1975 the company was taken over by Toye and Company Limited. In 1977, on moving to Great Queen Street, the company became known as 'The House of Dent' (in association with Toye, Kenning and Spencer Limited)."

e.g.

"E Dent & Company (Horologists) Ltd 19-21 Great Queen Street London, WC2B 5BE, United Kingdom - View Map Phone: (207) 242-0471"

and doing business as Dent (London):

and it looks like their current? owner Toye

sold their most recent premises, took the whole company private, and moved to new premises

"Toye, Kenning & Spencer, Russell Court Entrance C Side Gate, Lower Ground Floor, Coram Street, WC1N 1HA"

These facts could also be used to update articles on:

and the above article on Toye which now appears to be private family owned and doing business as Toye & Co. (depending on which page on their site you look at), as well as Benton and Johnson

and the London Badge and Button Company
