Hornby Hobbies
Hornby Hobbies A Management Case Study John L Thompson Roger M Bale Professor of Entrepreneurship Huddersfield University Business School 2002 Copyright John L Thompson, 2002 1 hornby.doc HORNBY HOBBIES Abstract Hornby, the company that systematically gave the world Meccano, Hornby Dublo electric trains, Dinky Toys and Scalextric, remains an independent British company a century after it was started by entrepreneur Frank Hornby in Liverpool. This is something of a rarity in the UK toy industry, which has seen many brands disappear in the face of global competition and many businesses either close or be sold to foreign ownership. During the last forty years Hornby has been continually swimming against the tide. Strategies have changed. Innovation, new products and diversification have been important - so too have divestments. There have been different owners and several changes of strategic leadership. But recently the company’s prospects have been transformed. Production has been moved to China, enabling the company to provide more detail without increasing prices. Pre-tax profits more than doubled between 2001 and 2002 and the latest interim results show a further doubling. Hornby’s survival is testimony to the importance of branding and reputation. This case study was written by John L Thompson with co-operation from Hornby plc in 2002. It is for classroom discussion and should not be taken to reflect either effective or ineffective management. Copyright John L Thompson, 2002. Copyright John L Thompson, 2002 2 hornby.doc HORNBY HOBBIES A new public company was launched in February 2002. Flying Scotsman plc had been formed to use the expensively restored and world-famous green steam engine for special excursions. -
Some Key Toy Manufacturers
45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:53 am Page 41 Some key toy manufacturers Britain Abbatt Toys Paul and Marjorie Abbatt were pioneers of innovative educational toys in the 1930s. They set up in business in 1932 selling toys to friends and by mail order from their flat in Tavistock Square, London. Demand was such that in 1936 they opened a child friendly shop at 94 Wimpole Street, designed by their friend the architect Ernö Goldfinger. The Abbatts were his main clients at the time and he designed toys and nursery equipment for them. They were concerned with the play needs of children in general, introducing a range of toys for children with physical disabilities devised by Milan Morgenstern. In 1951 they were instrumental in setting up the Children’s Play Activities Trust Ltd. to promote excellence in toy design and manufacture. After Paul Abbatt died in 1971 the business was bought by the Educational Supply Association. William Britain Ltd. Britains Ltd. was founded by William Britain in London in 1840. At first Britains made tin and clockwork toys and from the 1890s they made model soldiers. It also opened an office in Paris, France in 1905. The company made munitions for both world wars. In 1954 Herald miniatures, makers of unbreakable plastic toys, became a subsidiary of Britains. In 1966 Britains ceased to manufacture its metal soldiers. It was purchased by Ertl Co. in 1997. The Chad Valley Co. Ltd. The Chad Valley trademark was first registered in 1897 when the original company of Johnson Brothers added games to its stationery range. -

Collecting Railwayana by Jack Tempest Any People Collect Bygone Items of One Sort Or Another
Toys Display of Mel’s pre-war collection of mainly Hornby Trains. Collecting Railwayana by Jack Tempest any people collect bygone items of one sort or another. The females have their own feminine interests and the males, naturally Menough, generally prefer to seek out the more masculine materials. For instance, from childhood days, grown men tend to have a leaning toward anything that runs upon railway tracks and steam power. I know many men who can talk about railways from dawn to dusk and who collect virtually anything associated with the railway business going back to Queen Victoria’s times. I have met members of the ‘gentle sex’ who share such enthusiasm for railways and had enjoyed Hornby Trains in their youth - but not many! Collectors often follow their hobby because discovering rarities is great fun and, when their interest comes to an end they may, hopefully, be sold off at a price that allows them a very useful profit. Real enthusiasts do not really think that way and probably inwardly wildly believe that their collection will finally be taken with them to their Valhalla! What sort of railways do they collect - locomotive models, toy railway products made by Frank Hornby of Liverpool, England (he gave us the male-orientated Meccano sets and through them encouraged hundreds of boys to make their careers in the engineering businesses) and the German companies that successfully earned world-wide praise for their modelling. Frank Hornby became famous for his do-it-yourself boys’ construction outfits he introduced in 1901 which he originally named Mechanics Made Easy and later changed to Meccano, which was less of a mouthful and One of our leading authorities on helped to popularise world sales. -
