Employees
During the production period until the Southfields closure, there were about 160 employees (including office, sales, and shop floor). Many staff stayed for long periods, some all their working lives, indicating a contented workforce. The main entrance hall, behind the imposing oak double entrance doors, contained various plaques identifying long service staff. Are they there now? A single board showed those having completed 25 years service (over 30) and four individual plaques honouring staff who had completed 50 years service ( one having stayed over 60 years).

Famous quotes containing the word employees:
“I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me. The human problems which I deal with every day—concerning employees as well as customers—are the problems that fascinate me, that seem important to me.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
