Twiggy999 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I worked for Osborns from 66 until they transferred me to their South African subsidiary in 69. My bosses were Peter Comber and Paul Lever, so everyone called me Mary after the pop group. Now retired in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Marketing, then for Bernard Cotton and finally at Parkhouse. They asked me to go to S Africa too but I turned it down. I remember Paul Lever too and got on well with him. I always wondered what happened to him. I can remember many a lunchtime in the Big Gun with you and other members of staff. They were good years.

Hi Yorkyman, I worked in the offices at Rutland Road, what years did your dad work there? I can remember a Ron (but can't remember his surname, who was a manager and the main General Manager was called Michael Fitzclarke, I worked there in the late 70's and the company was acquired by Aurora Holdings, who had the big blue factory in Ecclesfield. Thinking about it today the surname of the guy I knew might have been Cookson, Edited April 9, 2020 by 3 Topside remember name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
