Bramah Stainless Steel tableware

I have been searching the internet to find out information about a company called 'Bramah'. I believe that it only had a short manufacturing life (although I may be wrong) and they produced tea sets etc. I would like to know if anyone knows anything about them, whether any catalogues of their products exist, who designed for them, if they still exist and if they do how I can contact them or alternatively perhaps a company that took them over - in fact anything at all about them.

John Bramah from Woodsetts was the Master Cutler a few years ago (2002), there may be a connection there and therefore the "Company Of Cutlers in Hallamshire" might be able to help

Brahma are a very famous lock company if its the same one?

According to this site, Bramah were acquired by Doncasters in 1988. Doncasters specialise in precision forgings, aerospace engineering, etc rather than tableware!

Bramah stainless tableware was made at the factory in Halfway which is now Doncasters as pointed out above. They always laid on a fantastic party for the employees children at Christmas!

I went for a job interview in 1980 at a Bramah Engineering at halfway .... dont know if companies were related.

Bramah made aerospace items,as well as tableware. I used to visit them in the 60s, when I worked as an auditor with the ministry of aviation.

I worked for J R Bramah as a Tig welder for about 3 years from 1973 John Beeby was my manager.

The Bramah businesses no longer trade in Sheffield.

If anyone needs any information regarding the Bramah businesses they could PM me. I am a friend of the family and will pass on questions. I could probably put my hands on a few of the tea sets if anyone wanted one.

I worked for Bramahs for 27 years, and yes, they did manufacture high quality stainless steel tableware, which was shipped all over the world. Sadly, like a lot of things, cheap imports took over, and production ceased. The aerospace side of the business absorbed the employees. The site at Halfway is now Doncaster Bramah, and as far as I know, continues solely in aerospace manufacture. The front office block and canteen now appear to be a lot of small businesses (incuding a nursery). A sign of the times!
