I worked for James Neil when they bought Moore and Wrights. I was a maintenance fitter and had to go there to help out in the maitenance. Lived on Richmond Road at the time so was very convenient.

Hi everyone. I was a rep. for Kent Panda, a division of Izal at Thornbridge, Chapeltown. In 1975 I sold a 'Pandamatic', which was a large floor maintenance machine, to the Director at Handsworth having demonstrated it on the shop floor with my colleague some weeks before. I particularly remember this as the people were all very friendly and courteous, and it was the last machine I sold before leaving Kent Panda. Does anyone remember this machine? Wonder if it's still working somewhere:)
