‘Alexanders’ started as bus operator in 1913 who grew to be a major force in Scotland becoming W. Alexander & Son’s Ltd. in 1924.
The present day ‘Alexander Dennis Ltd’. (ADL) has its roots in ‘Walter Alexander & Son’s who for many years built buses in Falkirk, Scotland.
A separate company ‘Walter Alexander & Co. (Coachbuilders) being formed in 1947.
Various mergers and changes of ownership have lead to the the worlwide company of ‘ADL’ that we know today.
Alexanders always produced distinctive buses but it was the ‘Y’ type introduced in the early 1960’s that took them into the ‘big time’ being sold nationally.
