After fifteen years of service I was promoted to Workshop Foreman,
which I carried out for a further ten years until promoted to Front
Desk.
In the meantime the workshops were moved twice – from Stoneville
Street to Swindon Road, four hundred yards away and from Swindon
Road to their present location at Manor Road, three miles away.
Although I have worked at Broughtons for thirty-nine years, I am
still classed as ‘The Kid’ by Ken, Brian and Steve, who have all
worked here for more than forty years each.
The best thing to have happened during my employment at Broughtons
was to be introduced to Prince Charles and Lady Diana at a Polo
match at Cirencester Park.
The worst thing was Rolls-Royce and Bentley being sold out of the
country.
