==History==
The company was founded by John Laird in 1824 as ''Birkenhead Ironworks'' in Liverpool. In 1903 it merged with ''Charles Cammell & Company Limited'' and, as ''Cammell Laird'', went on to build numerous ships for the Royal Navy.〔 In 1976 its transport division, which traded as ''Metro-Cammell'', secured a major order to build mass transit railway carriages for the Hong Kong Mass Transit System.
In 1977 its shipbuilding business was nationalised and in 1989 it disposed of its mass transit railway activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Brief History of the Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Ltd 1845-1945 )〕 In the 1980s it moved into security products and in the 1990s into electronics. In 2000 it disposed of its automotive industry activities and more recently, in 2007, it disposed of its security business. In 2008 it changed its name from ''Laird Group PLC'' to ''Laird PLC''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Laird Group PLC Annual General Meeting )〕
