Happy Happy days. Working at JU was indeed an education. I leant a lot about life in general from fellow employees. The elitist attitude of the ‘Lithographers’, the eclectic bunch of machine assistants who added to the multi-cultural workforce. Great characters and great times to look back upon. I remember Nick Toms (MD) telling us the the “future was in computers” back in the 70s. I don’t think anyone at that time knew what he was asking about. Don’t times change.

Hi Bernie ,hope you are well, we all put a lot of time and energy into JU to make it successful, early starts, lates, even worked nights and lots of weekends. Treble time back in the day for early starts..... Think print trade was doomed once the internet took hold. Have some good memories and we also had a good living from the company.
All the best. Mick L.
