i worked at Eversure from 1990 to 98, that was when the curtain fell for me.

some amazing people to work with and to have known. i can recall many people who i shall never forget especially those chosen few who dared to control those ancient fork trucks.

I was a customer of Eversures circa 73/74, I use to buy stretch covers for my market stalls around South Wales. I remember a pattern called Pandora it was a real good seller.

 

I originally started out with a guy from Oldham (Keith Cooper) who traded as Oldham Stretch Cover Center, Manchester St, Oldham and later to be Mr Stretch Promotions. It was funny really because in those days a rival could put the block on you and bar you from buying from his supplier however I used to send my Dad in to do the buying under the name of Mr Miller. Really good days they were, I have fond memories of driving up to Cumberland Street. I think I still actually have the swatches somewhere today.

I remember going to Eversure House  on Cumberland Street for NHS family planning in 1973.  In those days you had to be engaged to be married in order to be prescribed the contraceptive pill.  The name always made me smile.
