Here's a Whitworth wrench made by the Bren Manufacturing Company. The company was started in 1941 by Miroslav Sigmund to make components for the Bren gun. He employed a group of workers who had escaped from the Brno factory which made the original light machine gun from which the Bren was derived. They went on to also make tools for the Ministry of Defence and later for retail.
The company was acquired in 1953 by R. W. Crabtree and Sons. Grace's Guide
