blue9iron Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi not posted on this thread before and would have liked it to have been a happier posting but it is just to let my dad David Kelseys former colleagues know that he passed away on the 3.02.14 after a long illness.

ladlar Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi I know this post was a few years ago but my Dad is John North, he doesn't go on the internet very much but if you want me to pass on any messages i would be happy to do so. Messing about on internet and came upon a name from the past. I was an apprentice with John North along with John Styring in 1963. I retired two years ago and now live in Plymouth.

Jacobs Manufacturing was under the ownership of the Danaher Corporation back then and Danaher moved production to it's Suzhou factory in China which was built in the mid 90s. hiya, I was at laycocks for 24 years and remember some that were set on like the one who started on nights as a labourer no one saw him after 10 o'clock it was benny abbot who found him he was fast a sleep in the toilets his excuse was it was his first time on shifts and he was tired, another worked two or three nights and nobody had any record of a new starter, until he said "this is guilee's int'it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baz52 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I wonder if you know that there is a topic on Laycocks in the History & Expats section with several pages about the firm and people who worked there. I was there in the 60s in the electronics dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Go ask on the existing thread instead. The reason is that when you post on a thread you are automatically added for email notices when there's a new post on the thread, so if you post on that then those that have already posted there will get notified and you're more likely to get replies.
