Many of our customers ask us who Mr. Rushton is, in fact there is no such person at all. The name comes from the title of a garage team involved in motor racing in the 1950-60’s. The team disbanded in 1971 and the workshop, tools and equipment were used to form ”Rushton Engineering Services” firstly a company repairing paper handling machinery. Shortly after this the company started making gears for the clock industry and in 1979 started marketing their first paper clock card machine. 

In the early 80’s there were many closures and amalgamations of UK based clock companies which increased the demand for an independent service outlet. Totally now committed to the Time Recorder market the company increased its share with innovative products and quality after sales service. In the early 90’s the current range of terminals and software were introduced that during this decade saw the introduction to the range of access control.

By 1999 the it was felt that the original company name did not now reflect the true nature of the current portfolio and was changed. Rushton Electronic Solutions Limited sat very nicely with the original logo, millennium end and also reflecting the very nature of the core products. Today the latest products reflect the new technology and global changes in working practises. The very size and complexity of some installations now sees the company involved in roadwork, construction and all aspects of installation work and design prior to hand over to the client. The growth of the access control section providing bespoke applications to industry and commerce has kept perhaps the oldest company in the forefront of design today.
