Hi NicholasMy Dad, Dick Holloway, was the Factory manager at Dale End and moved to the new Castle Bromwich Factory as factory manager to open it. He was there until August 1961 when he left M&B's after 33 years to go abroad to Malta as General Manager of a new Bacon company out there. At that time I was nine
I remember Sid Cameron and also Peter Stansfield who was my Dads assistant manager. He later Managed the Vale of Mobray factory up north.
I used to go into the factory with my Dad on Saturday mornings to help? the pork pie team and my pay was a hot pork pie off the end of the oven, after jellying!! I can still taste them to this day!
