Sorry it’s a bit late, but we have learned of the sad passing of Maureen Chadwick. She used to work in the middle section of of the factory(can’t remember the name) and was a supervisor on her section. She certainly said what was on her mind, but also was very friendly with it.
Rest in peace Maureen, and thoughts go to her family.

Hi all,
I received news this evening that Paul Shorrock passed away in his sleep last night. Age 60.
That's all I know for now I'm afraid.

25 years ago today I was made redundant.
I remember leaving, clutching that cheque thinking I was Rich.
