kidley Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 HI i am surprised that no body has mentioned David Marriott, while i was idling my time away i came across this ROGER SAWTELL MA JP, served an engineering apprenticeship at English Electric Ltd., Rugby and then worked for sixteen years in the steel industry in Sheffield, latterly a Deputy Managing Director of Spear and Jackson Ltd., tool and steelmakers. In 1967 he returned to Clare College, Cambridge, to spend a term reading theology and then visited an industrial Kibbutz in Israel, coming back to this country fired with determination to develop a business owned and controlled by the people working in it. This became Trylon Ltd., now a leading supplier of plastics to schools and internationally known for glassfibre canoe construction. He left Trylon after seven years and spent the following five years as a consultant to newly-emerging industrial co-operatives. He was also one of the first members of the national Co-operative Development Agency in 1978. In 1980 he returned to co-operative employment as elected manager of a new business in the food industry, Daily Bread Co-operative Ltd., which now has a working group of fifteen people and a turnover of £1⁄2m. Roger Sawtell's fifteen years experience as a founder member and manager of two successful industrial co-operatives is probably unique in the UK. He is a practising manager, committed to the Christian faith and to the co-operative concept of democratic control of the business by those who work in. always wondered what happened to him, there were one or two rumours why he left (nothing bad i hasten to add) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowhazey Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi, Does anyone remember my grandmother Gertrud Lycett who also worked at Spear and Jackson mid 50's (I have a photo of her there which is from 1957) I'd be very interested to know anything about her work there. I also knew Ron Longhurst who worked there while my nan was there too, but not sure exactly when. I have a couple of photos from around that time if anyone is interested.
