The company was already called Roneo by 1908 according to the timeline on
this site:

1901 A.D. Klaber moves to England to create the Neostyle Manufacturing
Company in 1900 and the following year markets the Rotary Neostyle.
1901 Roneo is trademarked by A.D. Klaber, coining the word from the "Ro" of
Rotary and the "Neo" of NEOSTYLE.
1903 A.D. Klaber loses the rights to the trademark Neostyle and renames his
product Roneo, which he had trademarked in 1901.
1907 Roneo Limited, with A.D. Klaber as managing director is formed to take
over the business of the Neostyle Manufacturing Company.

The Neostyle Manufacturing Co. must have become known as Roneo Ltd. by April
1911 for "Roneo worker" to be correct:

"The largest modern factory is that of Roneo Vickers Ltd., manufacturers of
office machinery. It lies at the junction of South Street and Hornchurch
Road, now called Roneo Corner. It was on the Hornchurch side of the old
parish boundary. During the 1890s part of the site was occupied by a bicycle
factory. (fn. 60) The Neostyle Manufacturing Co., later Roneo Ltd., opened
its works there in 1908."
