> When did Willow Wren begin business?

I've just spent some time trying to find out. Google found me this statement:
"The Willow Wren Canal Carrying Company Ltd. was formed in 1953 by three individuals, Robert Aickman (Founder of the Inland Waterways Association), Leslie Morton, who at one time was with the Grand Union Canal Carrying Co. and Captain Vivian Bulkeley-Johnson who was a member of Rothschild’s merchant bank. Their aim was to preserve and be able to carry out commercial carrying throughout the canal system."
