 It had been held by Granada Television, which was founded by Sidney Bernstein and based at Granada Studios on Quay Street in Manchester since its inception.
 This was the only surviving company of the original four Independent Television Authority franchisees from 1954; Granada Media Group (parent company of Granada Television) merged with Carlton Communications to form ITV plc in 2004.
 It covers Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, northwestern Derbyshire, part of Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

Automeccanica was a Greek automobile producing company.
 Founded in 1979, it was one of the companies that produced the "passenger-utility" type of vehicle popular in Greece at the time for tax categorization reasons.
 Its creators were former executives of "Autokinitoviomihania Ellados" (meaning 'Greek Car Industry') a company founded in 1975 to also produce vehicles of this type – it assembled Italian Fissore models based on Fiat products, as well as other Fiat models and variants.
 Automeccanica followed a different path, building the "Zebra" model, a passenger-utility car based on the "Daihatsu Charade", as well as assembling the "Charade" itself.
 In 1985, when the law favoring the "Zebra"-type vehicles changed, Automeccanica stopped its production (after about 2,000 units had been built) and started licence production of the Soviet Lada Niva model, while it developed its own cabrio-version of the car.
 In 1988 it acquired its former "father" company, "Autokinitoviomihania Ellados" and the latter's factory in Thiva.
 Automeccanica went out of the car-construction business in 1995.

British Aviation Services Limited (Britavia) was an early post-World War II airline holding company and air transport operator that could trace its roots back to 1946.
 Its main activities included trooping, inclusive tour (IT) and worldwide passenger and freight charter services. British Aviation Services' first investment in a British independent airline occurred in 1946, when it acquired a minority interest in Silver City Airways.
 Silver City Airways operated the world's first cross-Channel air ferry service on 13 July 1948.
 It subsequently became British Aviation Services' biggest operating division.
 In 1953, British Aviation Services took over the independent airline Air Kruise.
 The same year, BAS Group also took control of Aquila Airways, the last commercial flying boat operator in the United Kingdom.
 The completion of these acquisitions by mid-1954 resulted in a reorganisation of the British Aviation Services group, with British Aviation Services Ltd (BAS Group) becoming the group's holding company and Britavia one of its operating subsidiaries.
 By the late 1950s, BAS Group became Britain's largest independent airline operator.
 Its numerous operating divisions included Britavia's Hermes Division at Blackbushe Airport and Aquila Airways's Flying Boat Division at Hamble near Southampton.
 The former concentrated on trooping services and inclusive tours while the latter provided scheduled services to Portugal, the Canary Islands and Italy.
 In 1962, BAS Group merged with British United Airways (BUA), which by that time had replaced BAS as the UK's largest independent airline operator.
