max Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I've recently been made redundant from Outo Kumpu and have sent a link to this thread to a distribution list of my fellow redundantees (is there such a word?). I hope someone will be able to help. I worked in the IT sector of the steel industry from the late 80's 'til this year but I suspect you're more interested in the shop floor workers.

loopylass Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi there . i work at a steel work that is next door to the meadowhall shopping centre . the company is now called firth rixson forgings . it was called aurora forgings and was first known as george turton platts . i think the company has been on this site since about 1904 ish . the company used to make railway buffers for trains . we now make aviation parts for rolls royce , pratt & whitney and general electric . our main customer is caterpillar over in the u.s.a the company has never been as busy as it is now . i think we are the last steel works left in the meadowhall area . pete My Dad and Grandad used to work for George Turton & Platts for years until they were made redundant in the middle 80's. I remember me Dad taking me one day & I had a ride on the fork lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
