Northern Counties
Northern Counties Motor and Engineering Company was a British doubledeck and singledeck bus body manufacturer founded in Wigan in 1919. It was a major supplier to local Lancashire firms, but had customers across the country. It acquired nearby Massey in 1967. It worked closely with SELNEC and its successors to develop a standard doubledeck design for Manchester. Northern Counties also produced many bespoke models for various operators and a small batch of coaches for Lancashire United. The company was sold to Plaxton in 1995 and ultimately subsumed into Alexander Dennis who closed the plant as part of a rationalisation of facilities in 2005. At the time it was still producing uts President doubledeck design badged as a Plaxton.
