September 1956-December 1963
I remember being a bit of a lout at Harlow. I was caned fairly
regularly by both Dick Dames and Roy Purgavie. I got my act
together in 1962. Believe it or not, I have still got all
my reports from Harlow. (They started off badly then faded!)
Returned to Liverpool (just as the Beatles hit the big time
and moved to London!) and worked on a trade newspaper (The
Corn Trade News). I was in love with a girl in Harlow and
moved back in early '65 to live with her and work on a trade
paper in London (The Public Ledger).
Left the paper and Roger Beck (Old Harlovian) and I started
selling potatoes door to door. Great fun, rubbish business
people.
Summoned back to Liverpool. Girlfriend dumped me and after
mending my broken heart, I proceeded to catch up on girls!!
I repped for Colgate - Palmolive for 3 years, then sold insurance
for a year, worked in warehousing and distribution for 12
years and back in to insurance in 1982.
I am due to be made redundant from my job as Regional Development
Manager with AMP UK Financial Services at the end of March
2003 and am in the process of starting my own management training/development
company.
I have been married to Barbara for 33 years and have 2 daughters,
(Victoria and Siobhan) and one son (Antony) and 3 lovely grandchildren.
I look forward to reading many more profiles as time goes
on and to meeting up with old friends from the 60's era.
