You have arrived at Ekco-Electronics.co.uk, the de facto website for the history of E. K. Cole. Here you will learn the story from its beginning as a home-run business, to its movement into the market place with factories, and its expansion that made it the largest employer in the Southend area and a world leader in the plastics industry. Furthermore, you will find out about its top secret work in the development of radar during the Second World War. This website replaces completely the Ekco-Radar.co.uk site which is now closed.

SITE NEWS

We are pleased to have received positive comments to the layout of the new site. We will be tweaking it here and there as time goes on, and there are some anomolies that occur in various broswers, that we are contending with. The Gallery pages, being one of the largest elements of the site, will probably be the last components that will go 'live'.
The 'Radar' page suggests it is still in construction. As a further improvement over the last website (Ekco-Radar), where the Site Map page was the basis for finding everything on the site, we have decided to place the articles and photographs, etc, under their correct (or most relevant) heading to make searching a lot easier.
I would be grateful if you would advise me of any broken links you may find.
As a point of note: Malmesbury-Memories (the sister site to Ekco-Radar) has also closed. This has come about due to the retirement of the webmaster. As far as I am aware, there are no plans for it to be re-launched.
