 I worked at Gees when it was on Norfolk Street and then moved to Shoreham Street and worked there until 1965.

Those who worked at Norfolk Street may remember Derek Gratwick, known as Dick to his workmates and his colleague Stan Marsh.

Derek was killed (in July 1960)  whilst driving a van for Gees and Stan was with him at the time in another Gees Van.

I started work at Gees in Norfolk Street in April '61 and Stan Marsh was Manager at that time. When they moved to Shoreham Street, Stan was replaced by one of the sales reps, Brian Rattigan. Stan then went out as a sales rep to replace Brian. Don't know if you remember names like Alan Elliott, Colin Craft, Malcolm Linley, Charlie and Brian Grant, Doug James, Don Staves, Don Gratwick, Ray Bamford, John Firminger, Bob Reid jnr & snr, Harry Bennett, Stan Ogden........could keep going! My name's Tom Porter.
