To people of a certain age, the name Dennis is synonymous with shiny red fire engines, and has been so for almost the whole of the 20th century. And yet this iconic vehicle has quietly all but disappeared from Britain’s streets, other than as guest appearances in TV dramas. Dennis have not made a fire engine for several years.

Following a decade of financial difficulties original shareholders sold out in 1972 and Dennis's ownership has since passed through quite a number of hands. The Woodbridge site was sold and a new small factory built in Slyfield remains in use by lineal business descendant, bus-maker Alexander Dennis. No Dennis haulage trucks have been built since 1985. The last Dennis fire engine left the Guildford factory in 2007.

The Dennis brand is still used on Alexander Dennis buses, Dennis Eagle dustcarts and Dennis mowers.
