Hi Guys Not Lesney as in Matchbox models I'm afraid. The name was an amalgam of names, the given name and surname of the guy who founded the firm. I used to work in Hackney and the outfit I worked with shared a building with Lesney, ended up doing some consultancy for them. It's like Trebor, the name of a sweet company, now part of the Cadbury group, named after its founder and one time owner. Read Trebor backwards. Regards Tony Fuller
