WTAW Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I worked at Dysons for a few years, started in the canteen with Sylvia and Val, then went into the offices. Worked with Gordon, Selwyn, Rowland (Helliwell), Frank Richardson, Peter, Sam (Darryl Sampson), and all their relatives! Works manager was Milton Revitt. Mags, Alice and Jill in the office. So sorry to hear of the death of Coddy, he was a good man. We must have got turkeys from you? AMB60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unwind Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 My Dad worked there from 1947 till he retired about the early eighties. His name was Ken Unwin. I remember the kids Christmas parties in the canteen. Also taking his snap to him when he worked the weekends. I remember some of the names mentioned. Some I know are Turner, Grayson, Revitt.
