From the administrators' statement
The company's business was primarily as subcontractors for delivering precision metalwork design, engineering and manufacturing services to UK and international customers.
Founded in 1935 by Jeremy Smith’s father, Smith & Jewell (at that time a trading style of S J Engineering Services Ltd) manufactured exhaust manifolds for RAF Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft. Originally based in London the company moved to Chichester, West Sussex around the time of the Second World War.
After a chequered history the business was transferred into SJ Engineering Specialists Limited with Jeremy Smith and his business partner becoming the directors and shareholders.
