Manufacturing progressed throughout the 1st and 2nd World Wars and then moved onto the production of hard rubber batteries. In 1945 Mr W.A.Butterfield joined the company to assist his father in developing the family business. In 1962, David Butterfield joined as the third generation to take the company from strength to strength shortly afterwards saw the first starter batteries under the ‘Shield’ brand produced. Due to the growth and expansion of the business, the company moved to Bishop’s Stortford where the companies head quarters and manufacturing remains today. In 1988 David’s son Neil joined the business to assist his father in taking the company through the next 20 years, building on the strengths we are today.
