You must have been there around same time as me. Simon Cardall was Factory Operations Manager, Mike Tomlinson and Bob Tench in Purchasing, Mike Burrows in Programmes, I cant remember the GM but he was a miserable sod I think ?. I worked with Mike/Bob on Rolls-Royce Trent, was there time of 1st Gulf War.

Yes all those names remembered. Simon Cardall went on to become a manager in Supply chain later on.

I guess you knew Peter Holland as well its a small world in electronics, I think the GM i remember was Martin Williams something like that anyway, Sarah Robinson in Purchasing with Mark Dutton ?, good days!

Yes, Peter Holland, Sarah and Mark. Good days those. I worked under Bob Kelly. We still used to have the tea lady for cakes and tea at about 10 and 3 in those days, I think.

I dont remember the tea lady but times were different, who else ?, Bo Kelly rings a bell, Graham Mallinson, Linda Yapp, Simon Barley, Mark Weymouth, Tony Dry, some stayed with Lucas, others joined TRW, and others went to all sorts of companies. I think York Road now under Goodrich/Rolls-Royce would be a different world but then thinking backwards its 30 years so times change...
