William Barratt (of King & Barratt) had, in 1916, purchased an interest in Gater Hall & Co. Both companies continued to operate untill c.1940 when King & Barratt closed.
Gater Hall & Co remained in production and in June 1943 the business, now under the control of William Barratt, was renamed to Barratt’s of Staffordshire Ltd.
Managing Director: W. G. Barratt, Works Manager: J. Y. M. Halsall. (1947 Potteries Gazette).
Around 1986 there was a management buyout, the company became “BOS Realisations Ltd” but continued to trade as Barratt’s of Staffordshire. The business continued in financial difficulty and in July 1987 there was a notice of voluntary winding up.
The final meeting of creditors was held on the 4th July 1991.
In 1992 the combination of Barratt’s of Staffordshire with Royal Stafford China resulted in a new pottery name of Royal Stafford.
