Between Edward Johns and the Stott brothers stood Edmund Corn, the driving force behind Armitage Ware. Potter, innovator and businessman, he guided the company through war, depression and industrial unrest while introducing new production methods, developing overseas markets and helping create the world’s first coloured sanitary ware suites. Under his leadership the Armitage name became known around the world, laying the foundations for the later success of Armitage Shanks.
