I started work as an office junior in the personnel department at Fisher and Ludlow in 1953/54. Office manager was Harry Thorpe, other names I remember - Joyce Teague, Bill Elkington, George Bowen, Bill Shuttleworth, Joyce Kirby, Gillian Latour Mr Randle. and the Personnel Manager was Barry Mackie. I was sent on half-day release (2 days per week) to Pitmans College in Albert Street, to learn shorthand/typing which help me later on when my children had grown and I resumed work as a secretary. Other girls in the office were Audrey Bayliss, Margaret Reading, Winifred Mortimer - wonder where they are now? - long time ago!
