Hello - does anyone from Chapman & Ball in the 1970ies remember my mum -Edith please ? She was the receptionist/ telelphonist , tall lady, short black hair. She had a friend there name Jill who I think was married to one of the drivers ? Jills aunty was a dinner lady at Moorland road Junior school. One Chapman & Ball job was to ship an alsation puppy to the middle east one time and my mum brought him home to stay at our house overnight ! Happy memories.
