I used to work with Jim Hussey in 1967/8 at W.ATyzacks. I believe he went to work at M&W and becames export sales manager. I wonder what happened to him.

Anyone remember Sandra Yeardley in early 70's in warehouse

To the best of my knowledge Jim Hussey has been living in Ontario, Canada for the last 25 years or so.

 

He joined the James Neill export department when they took over M & W. For a short while he went on to head up the Neill operation in North America but has not been associated with Neill for quite a long time.

Yerman - thanks for the info. I now vaguely remember him going to James Neill but havent seen him since I left Tyzack,s in 68. He was just an export sales clerk then but was always ambitious. Thanks again.

I knew Jim at Neil's / M&W in the early 70's. I knew he went to Canada but I thought it was on the West Coast but obviously not
