Louis and his mother ran the company from 132 Great Portland Street, London until Louis' death at the end of the late 1960's. The business continued as a going concern in London until the late 1970's when it was purchased by the known sculptor Sir David Hughes, he relocated the business from London to Wilburton in Cambridgeshire, where it still is today.
