29th February 2008:
Bob Reynolds Retires
On 29th February, after nearly 44
years of working for Norton, an era ends with Bob Reynolds retirement.
After serving an apprenticeship at a butchers, Bob proceeded to be trained
as a buyer at Norton Motors. He was responsible for supplies for Commando
and later Norton Rotary production; after that ended, he was taken on by
Andover Norton when the company purchased the Commando Spares business in
1991.
When Norton Motors Ltd aquired the Spares business in 2007, and Bob worked
from the Norton Motors Ltd premises in Rugeley, the last months before his
retirement were a bit like a return to the roots; even though Norton
Motors Ltd today was very different to what it was in the 1960s, on a
different scale and in a different location.
Picture Shows Bobs
Farewell Presentation on 22nd February at Andover Norton; his first ANIL
boss Mike Jackson looks on.
It was an emotional moment when Bobs hand was shaken by all his ex-bosses
at Andover Norton: Mike Jackson, William Colquhoun, David Bennett and Joe
Seifert. The only more emotional moment was when Bob left his desk on
Friday, 29th February, 2008, and closed the door of Norton Motors Ltd
behind him.
We wish Bob a long and healthy
retirement, and thank him yet again for the great job he has done for
Norton.
