History

 The business was started by J W (Bill) Turner in the early 1960’s. His  family were jewellers and watchmakers in Blackburn from the late 19th century and they made railway clocks as well as having a jewellers shop in the town. 

Bill devoted a lot of his spare time to  officiating as an RAC Timekeeper on rallies and was on the RAC  Timekeeping Committee.  He was also a leading member of Lancashire  Automobile Club.

Bill died suddenly whilst returning from  timekeeping on a rally in October 1982 and the business was taken over  by Brian Snape who had helped Bill Turner on events previously.

Brian then ran the business, was out  timekeeping and also sat on the MSA timekeeping advisory panel until  early 2009 when, due to illness, he sold the clocks and business to  Russell Smith of Rally Support & Services Limited.

Following in his predecessors footsteps,  Russell has been appointed by the MSA to certify clocks in classes  Rally and E/B.  Russell is also involved in rallying in many ways as a  competitor and organiser.
