Did you know Leslie Skelton? Think he was working at T C Harrisons between these dates.

Take Care Celt

Les Skelton was my boss, he was the chap who interviewed me & gave me my job, Bit of a slave driver though, he'd breeze through the paint shop and his favourite saying was 'any action going on in here'? I had to clean his ford capri every Friday afternoon.

Jack Cave was the big cheese at that time.

Pete had a smile at your comment Les still very assertive, was always the boss being my big brother. Great family guy at heart, married for almost 60yrs. Just think yourself lucky he gave you a job, you must be top quality:D well done. Take Care

Hi Celt, glad to hear Les is still in fine fettle, If Les can remember me I was the skinny lad with a shock of long hair, he set me on in August 1971.

 

I can remember some of the chaps who were his sales team, Ray Walker, Peter (Moyshe) Mennell, Ian Shepherd & Gary Bott, they all used to drive round in Mk 1 Escorts, happy days those were.

 

Send my regards
