Ferguson, Pailin & Co. was an English electrical engineering company based in Higher Openshaw, Manchester. The company was established in 1913, by Samuel Ferguson and George Pailin to manufacture electrical switchgear. The company acquired Mottram Hall to give employees an opportunity to go on affordable holidays. They sold the hall when transport to other holiday destinations became more accessible. The original factory building on Buckley Street was knocked down some years ago but the factory still exists next to the newly built Morrisons store in Openshaw.
