History
Glazebrook, Steel and Company Limited, merchants and shippers of Manchester, was formed in 1884 to supply Bombay with Lancashire textiles. The business was originally named Wallace and Company, Manchester, England and was created by Alexander and Robert Walllace. Until 1931, Wallace Brothers had a substantial shareholding in the Company and the right to nominate the governing director. After 1931 the shareholding was reduced but Wallace Brothers continued to maintain close links with the company.
