From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in 1936 as Taylor & Atkinson (Leeds) Limited and set up to manufacture timber products for the butchery trade as well as canteens. The Company has always traded from the premises located on Swinnow Lane, Bramley, Leeds.
The Company was acquired by a bespoke facades and shopfront specialist, Drawn Metal, Limited (‘DML"), in 1945. Following the acquisition of the Company by DML, it continued to manufacture timber products specifically for the timber trade until 2003, at which point it moved out of the butchery market and changed its name to DML Architectural Systems Limited.
The Company changed to specialise in external facades, unitised, curtain walling, windows, brise soleil, louvres and cladding under its new name and was a preferred supplier for several of the UK's largest main contractors, including Laing O'Rourke, Lend Lease, Kier Construction, Sir Robert McAlpine, John Sisk & Son, Morgan Sindall, Mace and Balfour Beatty.
