INFORMATION REGARDING TOYE, KENNING & SPENCER

The origins of Toye, Kenning & Spencer & Co. lay with the arrival in England in 1685 of Guillaume Henri Toyé, a Hugenuenot weaver, who fled France following the revoking the Edict of Nantes. This business was to become Toye & Co. in 1855.

The business of George Kenning was established in 1860 and around 1862 became Kenning & McKiernan before reverting to their original name. They were restyled to George Kenning & Son c.1895, and they acquired Spencer & Co. in 1947, becoming George Kenning & Spencer Ltd. They were in turn acquired by Toye & Co. in 1956, and the business was restyled to that of Toye, Kenning and Spencer in 1962.

A link to an article that appeared in the Daily Mail on the 11th April 2013 regarding the Medallist and Regalia maker Toye, Kenning & Spencer, who's future is now in doubt:

"Toye’s greatest achievement remains the relatively unsung truth that it has managed to preserve the talents of highly skilled craftsmen, many of whom have had their talents passed down through generations of family"
