The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it
the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its
origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become
a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the
world. This book discusses the company's highs and lows, through
two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It
documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design
features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans,
buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances. First-hand descriptions
of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products
such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why
their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made. It also
analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and
explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over
the years. Finally, the company's future opportunities and
challenges are considered. The author, Andy Goundry, has not only
drawn on his own personal experience of almost twenty years of
employment with the company but he has drawn on what is left of the
company archives, private collections and first-hand accounts, to
produce this book as a salutation of over 125 years of continuous
manufacturing.
