1973 John Collier Tailoring Ltd. - The window to watch!

Started in the Porth branch then moved to Cardiff Queen Street
Let's see, who was there? Norman, Lyndon ... come on someone help me out here it was a long time ago.

1973 to 1978 Visonhire - TV Rentals

South Wales and Bournemouth

At one time or another I worked at all of the branches in South Wales, including South Wales Electricity Board franchises and those acquired from other companies. In particular Lloyds Surevision and Knight Rentals.
Not so long ago I did think of arranging a reunion of the South Wales team of this era. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember half of their names and, apart from one or two, didn't know where the others were.
I have listed those I can remember so please e-mail me if

a) You are any of these people
b) You know any of these people and how I can contact them
c) You are one of the people who's name I couldn't remember - apologies in advance!

1978 Telefusion Ltd. - TV Rental and Retail

Just a brief stay here, in Cwmbran, for about 4 months.
I would like to pay tribute to Area Manager Derek Hull, who died shortly after competing in a charity raft race.

1979 to 1993 Indesit - Domestic Appliance Repairs

At last it was time to make good use of the skill I had been developing since the age of 3. Namely - taking things apart. Fortunately I had, by now, also developed the skill of putting them back together!
Starting at Caerphilly and moving between Swansea and Bristol like a yo-yo as my area was constantly being moved, I ended up in Swansea as Branch Manager. When Indesit and Ariston service departments were combined under the umbrella of Merloni Domestic Appliances the size of the team doubled, as did the number of old friends that I lost track of.

That's enough of my work history to be going on with. I'll bring it up to date some time in the future but if you know what I'm doing now then we are obviously still in contact with each other.
