The British Tyre and Rubber Company, known as BTR plc since 1982 was one of the largest companies in the UK with a one time stock market capital value of over £6.5 billion. It was originally registered in 1898 as the Leyland and Birmingham Rubber Company Ltd, specially formed to acquire the undertakings of Leyland Rubber Company Ltd, Birmingham; India Rubber Company Ltd and Stanley Morrison and Co. Ltd. Most of the companies that were taken over by, or associated with, BTR plc were concerned with rubber products of all types : from tyres to shoes and even hair, but there were also links with the communications industry and more general trade within the British Empire, including India and Australia.
