Established in 1900 this makes us one of the oldest family run businesses in Scotland. At its peak in the mid twentieth century there were over a thousand people that worked within Thirty Ballot Road, the site of the Ayrshire Storage centre. The Hosiery Manufacturing Company or known locally as Watson's Hosiery, specialized in manufacturing knitted textiles.
