Hi Margaret,
The factory being "Bristol Aircraft" before English Electric seeme very logical, see text below taken from Wikipedia:

"In 1959, Bristol was forced by Government policy to merge its aircraft interests with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft, and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Bristol formed a holding company which held a 20 per cent share of BAC, while English Electric and Vickers held 40 per cent each."

Cheers
