"On Anzac Day 2024, my Aunt Deborah messaged to say a UK based researcher had
contacted her suggesting that William Bleakley, my great-great-grandfather, was
one of three founders of a company called British Electric Vehicles in 1916.

That side of our family’s history had been largely lost so I was very curious
to learn more. My Aunt connected me to the researcher who sent a treasure trove
of documents and photos piecing together the incredible life of William
Bleakley Senior."
