The British Reinforced Concrete Engineering Company manufactured reinforced concrete structures and made steel mesh for reinforcing concrete. The company moved from Manchester to Stafford in 1926, building a new factory in Queensville. Business declined in the 1980s, and the factory closed in 1990, the buildings were demolished in 1991 and the site is now occupied by a housing estate.
