Lysaght's Galvanized Iron Pty Ltd, incorporated in 1899, was the selling agency in Australia for John Lysaght Limited in Bristol, England. Thomas Davey the Managing Director was located in Melbourne and the Sydney office was managed by Herbert Royse Lysaght. In 1906 William Sandford, a former employee of Lysaght's, needing capital for his Eskbank iron and steel works at Lithgow, NSW, offered shares in his company to John Lysaght Ltd. However, after negotiation between Sandford, and Lysaght and Davey on behalf of John Lysaght Ltd, agreement to conditions could not be reached and the option was not taken up. Sandford, forced by a lack of capital, sold the works to G & C Hoskins in late 1907.
