London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Simms Motor Units Limited Oak Lane East Finchley
« on: Friday 22 October 10 22:52 BST (UK) »
Hello Fred,
My name is Jerry Jameel. Currently I live in USA. In my younger days, I worked at Sim ms Motor Units in Oak Lane, East Finchley. I worked there from 1955 until 1964. I worked there as a Lab assistant and then as a designer of starter motors. Sim ms Motor Units was my first job in England after arriving from India in 1955.
Sim ms was not a garage. It was a sizeable company employing some 3 hundred people. We designed, developed and manufactured electrical and fuel injection equipment for cars and trucks. The electrical division was bought by US Ford in1962 or so and the fuel injection division was bought by Joey Lucas of Birmingham.
If your dad worked at the East Finchley plant, then I must have known him because I knew almost everyone who worked there in the labs or offices.
For many years I have been trying to contact my colleagues at Sim ms but did not have much luck. Will be delighted to know if you know any.
Jerry
