Strachan & Henshaw was a defence and nuclear engineering company based in Ashton Gate in Bristol, England.
History
The company was founded by Robert Price Strachan and George Henshaw in 1879 as a partnership specialising in the manufacture of paper-bag making machinery, operating from Lewin's Mead in Bristol. In 1920 the business was bought by E. S. & A. Robinson.[3]
In the 1950s, as part of a consortium involving Clarke Chapman, Head Wrightson, C. A. Parsons & Co., A. Reyrolle & Co. and Whessoe and known as the Nuclear Power Plant Company ('NPPC'), it was awarded a contract for reactor mechanical plant at Oldbury nuclear power station.[4] It was subsequently awarded similar contracts at Heysham 2, Hinkley Point B, Hunterston B and Torness
