Ephraim phillips ltd

Hi Peter, by shear chance I looked for a picture of the marble step outside Ephraim Philip's, a couple of links and I found you in this forum!! It's Alan Hall here I worked with you, Alan Mac, Malcolm, Christine, Stephanie, Mike, Melvyn and others during It's transformation into Automotive Manufacturing. Great times, great days and Great people. Dave and I moved to Spitfire Park for 20 yrs or so, I retired in 2019. Like a few people have said I left school in 1967 ans was an apprentice at GKN Screws anf Fasteners, became Automotive Salesman, moved to Linread for a few years, then EP Bissell St.So many names in you 3 pages bring so many memories back. Thank you for setting it all up, take care, Regards Alan
 
This thread brings back memories of my first visit that was arranged when we did our training for the jobcentre. A small group of us were taken to Ephraim Phillips we were shown the wire coils and then taken through the various processes right through to the room where the presswork was taking place it was fascinating it was on a Friday near to lunch time. As we neared the end of the visit the hooter sounded and I have never seen staff move so quick. Probably glad the working week was over. As staff we were encouraged in the 1980s to do familiarisation visits to be able to see how the processes within a company worked. This was brilliant when matching customers to jobs I absolutely love them
 
Hi All, new to this website I worked at Ephraim Phillips, BSK, GKS Unformtechnic, then Linfast Group for almost 25 years, started as office junior, worked in the warehouse, back in the office again as materials assistant, then as assistant to the buyer, just seen a mention of Ephraim Phillips Ltd on Monday nights Silent Witness and talk about a shock, my youngest son dropped by to tell me he was working on a building which turned out to be EPL, I have a lot of fond memories, the ladies on inspection singing at the top of their voices, August bank holidays out to the seaside by coach for the day, Christmas parties, you would find generations of families working there, some local, some not so, with some having very different personalities, but rubbing along anyway, I remember a lot of the people mention here too and others that are not mentioned, thank you all for a walk down memory lane x
