My mum was the secretary to the distribution manager for Remploy when Tommy Burns came off the road to be the TM, he was partly the reason I went into the transport industry in 1970 when I left school aged 16. I started in the traffic office for Thomas Harrison Haulage off Stanley Rd; Chadderton in June 70 and Tommy gave me The Transport Manager’s Handbook, the FTA’s yearly handbook and a character reference to help me into employment, never looked back 
great fella.
