Yes I(Paul Moynahan) worked at Firth Browns from 1967 untill it changed to Forgemasters.

I did my apprenticeship in the training shop and worked for many years in the light m/c shop.

It was some of the best years at work, I then moved to south m/c shop when it became Forgemasters, I then took my redundancy in 2002 , I now work for Allvac back on the atlas site so I've come full circle

My dad used to work at Firth Browns in the 1970's, Steve St Clair, I'm not sure what job he did though. He got made redundant in the early 80's I think.
