Calling all ex employees of Wandsworth Electrical prior to 1955

gstevens

proper brummie kid
Hi, I am the current MD of Wandsworth Electrical Limited and I am trying to trace anyone who has connections with the company when it started life off in Brum in 1905 up till it relocated to Surrey in 1955. It started life in St. Mary Street, Ludgate Hill, Kenyon Street and finally Frederick Street until it was bombed out during the 2nd world war. I am keen to find photo's or relatives of ex employee's for a booklet we are trying to put together on the company.​
 
My name is John Etheridge and I began my working career at Wandsworth Electrical in Frederick Street as a junior in the drawing office. I joined the company in 1950 and left in 1952 to enter the RAF. I was a trainee draughtsman and have many fond memories of my time with the company.
