"GETTING STARTEDAT MONO PUMPS."

A review of Mono Pumps Ltd by John turner written on Wednesday 23rd of January 2013

Hi! everyone.

My name is John Turner.

I started work at Mono Pumps in the drawing office in the London office. It was 1956 and I had just turned 16.

I did drawings of the pumps and designed assemblies for customers requirements.

It was a great place to work. Friendly people and always a laugh or two. We played chess in the lunch hour, or sat around and read a book.

The chief dratsman was Mr. Edlin, a great guy.

I was sent up to the Manchester plant once a year and watched the pumps being made and being assembled. It was quite interesting for a young lad at that time.

The guy that I was "apprenticed" to was called Ginger, a very funny and interesting guy.

I lodged at a house in Ashton with a Mrs Milner.

I worked at Mono for just over 9 years and regretted leaving there.

It was a great place to get going in the work force, and I think about the people a lot.

I now live in Canada, 41 years now..
