Ferguson Electronics (formerly known as Ferguson Radio Corporation) is an electronics company specializing in small electronics items such as radios and set top boxes.
Ferguson is one of the older electronics companies, alongside Ultra, Dynatron, Pye and Bush in the United Kingdom. It was originally an American - Canadian pre-War company making radio sets for the U.K. market based upon contemporary American models. After World War II, it became Ferguson Radio Corporation, making radio receivers and, later, televisions. Later still, it became part of the British Radio Corporation. It was taken over by Thorn Electrical Industries in the late 1950s, but the Ferguson name continued to be used by Thorn, and its successor Thorn EMI.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the Ferguson Television Factory at Enfield in 1964. The image showcases a group of skilled ladies diligently assembling television sets, highlighting their significant contribution to the manufacturing process. Ferguson Electronics, formerly known as Ferguson Radio Corporation, specialized in producing small electronics items like radios and set-top boxes. As one of the older electronics companies in the United Kingdom, it stood alongside renowned brands such as Ultra, Dynatron, Pye, and Bush. Originally an American-Canadian company catering to the UK market with radio sets before World War II, Ferguson Radio Corporation transitioned into making televisions after the war. The company later became part of British Radio Corporation and was eventually acquired by Thorn Electrical Industries in the late 1950s. However, even under new ownership, Thorn continued using the esteemed name "Ferguson" for its products. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when television production required manual labor and meticulous attention to detail. It serves as a testament not only to Ferguson's legacy but also to the dedicated women who played an integral role in shaping this industry.
