I suppose it had to come but I have been involved with Bond since the mid 70s, it was NSH then. Through the years since then, I have worked in all areas of the Bond Group and thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of years now and have subsequently retired.
As has been suggested in earlier posts, a lot of us went the extra mile, not necessarily for money but for the good of the Company, Job Security and yes, job satisfaction.While working for Bond, I never ,ever got up and thought "do I have to go to work today?" It was a good outfit to work for, in all areas and I was always well paid. Sad to see the name disappear along with the red colour scheme.
Also glad that I am retired.
