Hi Fred
I worked at Simms Mtrs in Falconer street which was next to the Forth Goods Yard in Newcastle I think the building is still there.
i started there in 1962 as a sales rep, the manager was a Mr John Fothergill he was a real terror.
it had a large Auto Electrical and Diesel depts plus stores and office staff in total about fifty staff
We had a great Xmas party every year when the m/d Mr Jimmy Bell and other branch managers got very merry
I left in 1971 to manage a branch in Sunderland for Chloride Gaedor
