Jack Olding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Olding of Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England had a company (Jack Olding & Co. Ltd), which specialised in the import and modification of tanks and tractors during the Second World War (notably Caterpillars).
He had a factory on the A1 just to the north of Hatfield, at a site now known as Oldings Corner.
After the war he made an ultimately unsuccessful gamble, relinquishing the Caterpillar agency for what proved to be the less successful Vickers VR tractor. On his death the company passed to Scottish Land Development.[1]
