Won't your mothers bank know where the pension was coming from, at least as a starting point

have a look for brian jarvis's phone number brian was the convener at Browns and would know all about this,I'm sure he'll be in the phone book.

Is Jarvis still a councillor? his contact details will be on Wigan councils website if he is.

Brian isn't a Councillor but he is an Alderman his phone number will be easily available and he's a super guy do owt for anybody

Did nowt for me or all the other apprentices at David Browns.

bloody hell glow some folk ull moan about owt

Brian did his best for Browns and also for Leigh Infirmary unfortunately he fought and lost

A young lad starts his apprenticeship at 16, serves his time going to college etc and continues doing this at the request of the company for a further 2 years until he’s 22, learning ‘new’ methods in manufacturing/quality control/robotics etc, in the mean time there’s another bloke who’s say 30 and worked there for 3 years.

The company started to have difficulties, and announced redundancies, the company wanted to retain people who they had invested money in, who they felt had the necessary skills, and the ability to take on a variety of roles to take it forward, lets guess who insisted that they went with a last in first out policy and refused to consider the time served during apprenticeship’s as part of their company service.

Yeah he did his best.

You can only help so many people... shi' tappen.

Exactly how many work there now?
