I worked at HM & Co from 1971 to 1973. I started straight from school as Trainee Work Study Engineer and 10 months later I was running the department aged 16. Crazy. The company was owned and run by Armin Krausz and his son Neville. The Works Director was Andrew Frankle. At the time nearly all the production was for government contracts such as hospitals and prisons. A lot of the designs were from David Mellor(not the politician). HM & Co also imported stainless steel tea sets and sold them under the name Sheffield Silversmiths. I was presented with one of the tea services when I left which my Mum used on a daily basis until recentley. I also bought a canteen of 'Lustre Grain' cutlery which my Mum still has.

 

I worked at HM & Co for twenty years I was the manager of the Claire shop.Are you in the Shoe business still?

Don't think you were on piecework, you may have got hourly rate plus bonus. Piecework was when you just got paid a percentage of the value of the work you produced but did not receive any other pay . Those days went out long before I started work in 1966

My granddad (Harry Gray) worked for Harris Millers for years. I used to meet him every Friday in the mid 80s, in the Mulberry Tavern and buy him a few pints.
