I worked at The Midland Educational Company (MECO) from 1970 to 73, It was the school contracts department based in Malcolm House on the Moseley Road opposite the bus garage, It was half of the building over three floors, on the ground floor was the Midland Ed, also there was Broadway Warehouse and Barnaby's Toys on the other two, they all belonged to the same group, On one side of us there were offices (same building) with a strip club on the top floor. On the other side was Robinsons Removals. Basically it was offices and a warehouse, we would receive written orders from schools, then collect the ordered items in a push around truck (like a heavy duty Tea Chest on wheels) we then wrote out the delivery address labels and sent it over to the packers, the packages then went to the loading bay to await delivery in our own vans, we stocked all the items found in the shops, including Card, Paper, Pens, Pencils, Exercise Books, Plasticine, Pencil Sharpeners, Staplers and even Washed Sand for infant school sand pits. if schools used it we stocked it. we supplied Birmingham and the Black Country schools,
