AngieC Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi, My names Angie, did anyone work at George Turton Platts in the 70's? I worked with Eileen Barlow/Potts and Jack Simmons in Personnel, a little wooden shed was the office in the yard. I was there from around 1971 to 1978. It would be nice to catch up with other's who worked there. I knew alot in both the factories and the office's. I was a friend of Jenny who worked on the switch board which I also used to work on sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
