Hello,
This Thursday, at 9pm on BBC2 (UK) as part of the 'Troubleshooter-Back In
Business' series, Sir John Harvey-Jones (industrialist and celebrated
ex-boss of ICI) returns to the Morgan factory to follow up on his famous
last visit in the early 90's.
As some of you will remember Sir John poured scorn onto the Morgan approach
to manufacturing and told them that they would soon be out of business.....
Luckily, all at Morgan ignored his advice to modernise and to introduce
modern assembly lines, etc. and, as we now know, ICI is in the doldrums
whilst Morgan is still going strongly!!!
- this should make interesting viewing and I'm sure that there'll be lots of
footage of the Aero 8.
