Into the second century of Russell Newbery
In 1909 having served their apprenticeship with Royce Engineering in Manchester,
Frederick Russell and William Newbery setup their own business, the Russell Newbery Company.
They established a works at Altrincham, then a small provincial Cheshire town.
Thus 2009 marked the centenary of the Russell Newbery brand, and 100 years production
of top quality engines.
Our RN Story pages contains
a brief history of the early years of the company.
