This was the latterday trading title for the group which had over the years incorporated EE, Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn (which in turn comprised Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn Leslie companies), Vulcan and W G Bagnall. Also in the GEC group was W H Dorman, the Stafford based engine manufacturer, which explains a preference for Dorman diesels in EE/GEC locomotives.
"Stephenson" was used as the brand, frequently combined with a logo derived from the 0-2-2 'Rocket'.
Locomotive manufacture concentrated on Vulcan Works at Newton le Willows, ending in 1979-80
