Harry Mould and William Grimley founded the Eclipse Spraying Company at 1 Rawlings Road, Smethwick Birmingham.
William was the engineer behind the first products, whilst Harry funded most of the venture.
Harry Mould leaves the company leaving William Grimley in charge. Eclipse Spraying Company Limited was incorporated.
The first products to be made and sold were the ‘Eclipse Leader Spraying Pumps’. The advertisement leaflet describes them as “entirely new inventions which eliminate all the disadvantages hither-to found in higher priced spraying machines”
By now the Eclipse Sprayers product range was expanding, with mobile lime washing & spraying equipment, bucket spray pumps and anti-poultry disease flamethrowers called the “Dragon Flamethrower”all in production from the Birmingham factory.
In the summer of 1946 William Grimley died, leaving his two daughters Miss Hilda Grimley and Mrs Edna Collins to inherit the business.
Eclipse Sprayers Company Limited received a certificate of incorporation to become Eclipse Sprayers Limited.
After 19 years of running the business Hilda and Edna were then joined by William Grimley’s third and youngest daughter Mrs Lilian Arnold.
The three daughters sold Eclipse Sprayers to John Pennock from Albrighton, near Wolverhampton.
Eclipse Sprayers brought Fine as Rain from the Bulmer Family, it specialised in replacement watering can roses.
John Pennock’s eldest son David Pennock joined the business and the manufacture of electric damp proof and timber spraying pumps commenced.
The company moved to purpose built premises on Beakes Road, Smethwick, Birmingham.
