J & A Jackson

J & A Jackson Ltd was formed through the amalgamation of the businesses of two established brickmaking familes in the Manchester area. The Harrisons had four works around Stockport, whilst the Jacksons operated from three works in Chorlton, Longsight, and Levenshulme.

Over the next fifty years the company expanded with the acquisition of works across the north-west and into the west midlands. In 1973 Christian Salvesen acquired the business and in 1995 a management buyout of the brick side of the business saw the formation of Chelwood Brick. The company continues to operate from the works at Adswood Road in Cheadle.
