In 1954, we were approached by a bright young designer whose groundbreaking ideas changed the status of Abacus forever. Throughout its 50 years, Abacus has refused to stand still - and that commitment to innovation still defines our business today. The world was a very different place when Abacus started trading in 1958.
Manufacturing was the backbone of the British economy, a good salary for a senior engineer was 7 a week and if you drove a third-generation 37bhp Morris Minor, you were the envy of all your neighbours. Wartime restrictions had plunged Britain's streets into darkness for well over six years; and even when the limitations were lifted in 1954, the state of street lighting left much to be desired.
