Nieuport and General Aircraft Co. Ltd. was managed by Samuel Waring of Waring and Gillow, furniture manufacturers, who also managed Alliance and BAT.

While original purpose was to produce Nieuport 11, Nieuports were not actually manufactured and it instead manufactured Sopwith Camels under contract; original designs of fighters and bombets produced from 1917 under designation BN for British Nieuport, although that was never the firm's name.
