With his father, he built up the business during Sheffield's boom time in the first part of the century, visiting and exporting to the USA, particularly the Southern States, through the port of Charlestown, Carolina. This all came to a halt during the Civil War, started in 1860, during and after which the cutlery industry declined, as trade tariffs were imposed and their local steel and cutlery industries started up and gained strength. After his death, the business was continued by his third son, Edward and grandsons, until about 1920.
