Can anyone confirm me the name of this company (looks like Cressois & Robinson) and what they did?  This is taken from a WW1 service record for Leslie Lepper of Brockley.

It helped that the company was named after  a family member which came up when I searched for Cres* Robinson on Anc  :)

I wasn't expecting it to be such a well known company and one that was in existence until fairly recently.  Thanks for your help.
