The Brandon Bridge-Building Company Limited was founded in 1865 by James Goodwin and Co, and was incorporated as Goodwins, Jardine and Co Ltd in 1890. In 1895 it became Brandon Bridge-Building Co Ltd. In 1914 it employed over 400, and advertised itself as bridge-builders, engineers and ironfounders. It was in liquidation in 1933, but seems to have had a new incarnation because it won a contract with Glasgow Corporation in 1951. I haven't found any later references to it.
