Photo was taken in 2004 in the new body shop previously known as old fitting /pannel shop.
I started my apprenticeship in 1989 and worked with some true characters over the years.
I can honestly say they were the best times and a top set of lads to work with(through out the factory).
Sad to say this is got to be one of the last photos taken showing some of the remaining lads that pulled together and worked upto the factory closure. p.s. Im the lemon in the yellow t-shirt.

Hi Paul, hope you doing well, fantastic pic, the place should never have allowed to close, I remember you starting it seems a long time ago now. Some great faces on that pic thanks for sharing it.

I'd just left in the Feb that year. Had a great 6yrs there straight from school. Some cracking lads worked there over the years, loved it.
