Roy Acland… the ITT Consumer Products R&D team from 1972. It’s taken at Foots Cray site and later in the year the team relocated to Hastings and about half of those shown moved to the new site.
Chris Baker… bonuses to work there I believe
Terry Hopper… I travelled to Foots Cray for 3 months by coach every day with Dave Vast and helped to move the model / proto type workshop to Hastings where I then worked until 1978 when it was relocated to Basildon

Merv Kennard… Hi Pete I remember the photo of you and Bob, but can’t remember what led up to it. Bob is still around but have not seen him for ages.
Pete Prescott… the photo was too make Sue laugh. It was tape for the Esther Ranstzen show.
Merv Kennard… I remember Pete larking about in the stores, the other guy in the picture is the son of Tom Mitchell who co ran that famous boutique in the High Street.
Judy Atkinson… I worked as a temp there briefly in 1977
Dennis Torrance… I worked Collins&Hayes from August 68 till April 1975 had a good football team 1972 onwards .
Pete Prescott… There was a lady called Sue in cushion stuffing who was featured in the Esther Rantzen show with her unusual laugh ( think of a donkey with breathing problem). A cassette tape was primed and I was given the job of making her laugh. It worked. She was featured on the show one Sunday night. I’m guilty of hiding in those tubes and jumping out on people. I nearly gave Jim a heart attack. Naughty boy !
