He was stationed at Bank Hall, Bretherton, Lancashire which was used during the Second World War for the north west coast shipping movement control. At the end of the war he started the Transport Ferry Service with his two sons and in the next few years they acquired seven former military tank-landing craft to operate one of the first Roll-on/roll-off drive on ferry services from the United Kingdom to continental Europe. When the ships needed to be replaced he sold the company to the British Transport Commission in 1954 and retired in 1956. (en)
