never been excelled - anywhere

[takashi]

Hello,

I came across this sentence:
--- was part of the warp and woof of English life, and have never been excelled - anywhere.

Does this mean:
--- was a part of life in UK, more than anywhere else.

--- is the name of a brand.

Thank you in advance.

... was part of the warp and woof of English life, and has never been excelled - anywhere.

...has never been surpassed anywhere.

Thank you for your reply Casiopea.

So then, is it saying that:
"No other place has the brand been so influential to the people there than in UK"?

or:
"no other brand has been so influential to English life than this one"?

Thank you

No other place has the brand been so influential to the people there than in UK or No other brand has been so influential to English life than this one?

Maybe a bit of both: In no other place has a brand been so influencial.
