Jack Bowthorpe was the founder of the Group of Companies now known as Spirent Communications. Jack’s background was in the supply of “everything electrical,” and in 1936, with limited financial resources, Goodliffe Electric Supplies Ltd was formed. The Company was based in London as a designer and supplier of overhead transmission line fittings.
The strategy of the Company was to spot a niche in the electrical and electronics market and fill it; this was a strategy that continued into the 1990’s.
