Hi everyone. Yesterday I was looking through a catalogue which was pushed through my door (dare I say it... "Betterware&quot

and I was rather surprised to see they were advertising a carpet sweeper called a "Ewbank".  
Now you younger end may not know, but we had a very famous firm here in Accrington who made sweepers with the name "Ewbank".  The firm was approximately where ASDA now is.
I thought the name would have died out with the firm.  Does anyone know who "bought" the brand name?
