millsie Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi tinapina, my name is Keith Mills, I left Dormer in 1965. In your post on 21/4/2015, you mentioned Terry and Gina. That wouldn't be Trevor and Gina Beard would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal9001 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Dormer left Summerfield Street in 1991. It went to two sites, one at Holbrook and one at Worksop. The Holbrook site closed in 2002 with some people going to Worksop. Manufacturing at Worksop ended in 2008, with the Sales and R&D moving to the Advanced Manufacturing Park at Catcliffe. R&D split with Sales and joined Sandvik Coromant in 2011. The sales function left Catcliffe for its current location at Barlborough in 2014.

travelling m Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I did work in the old offices and the new and not good at remembering names, two I do know of were Mick Bramall and Mick Allsop and Terry 7 his wife Gina from Blue dormer. I remember a Judd. I used to sit with both Micks and five others in the works canteen n they took me under their wing as I was only 16 at the time and nobody used the office canteen. I used to have to run errands all through the works and got to know a lot of people that way. Names I do remember are from the offices. Mr Metcalfe Stuart Bowles Adrian Waple Sheila Lovett His dad Chris Atkinson Mr elkington Chris Drewett Pat Thompson Margeret Radcliffe Renee Manton Carol Twigg Sandra Mathews Colin Mansell I am going back 44 years ago and with this site I keep remembering a lot more people. I loved it at the Twist Drill Did John Cooper work in the offices or was he based on the shopfloor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princeowales Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Is Michael Vaughan's father still working there? I would think he has retired now. I used to work with Graham at Prestos years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaci Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Any one remember top wrestler Alan Kilby working at Dormer in the late 60s before he made the big time. He worked on a machine in the medium fluters dept,in the evenings he worked as a doorman at various pubs and clubs around town. Every year a traveling fair came to Norton,one of the attractions was a wrestling booth,you won a fiver if you "beat their man",it didn`t take much to persuade Alan to take up the challenge,a few of us went up to watch Alan win his fiver,seven bells comes to mind.
