Edward Goodman died while only in his forties, but his wife carried on the business with the help of her sons. After she died the business was split into three separate firms one in Newport Road, New Bradwell, called W.Goodman and Bros one at Bradwell Road, New Bradwell, called E.Goodman, Bros and another at Luton, A.Goodman, which was later moved to North Street, Bletchley, and is still operating as A.Goodman & Son.
