List prepared for closure, transcribed by Kay Collins
Messrs. Jaques & Clark’s Boot Factory

This list was found in a suitcase of papers from the factory, kindly loaned to us.

It appears to have been drawn up to calculate redundancy payments when the company closed in 1980.
The names are in sections but no headings are given. Perhaps grouped by departments?

Note: The first column numbers added for indexing.
Years of service and age given as years and months.

A draft letter, not addressed to anyone, and un-signed:
Rather sad news tell you personally rather than just in letter form.

Trading during 1980 has been progressively getting worse and prospects for early 1981 indicate no improvement.

We have been battling along but the Company has now decided to cease manufacturing, and as a result I am in consultation with the Union so that we ensure the correct notice is given and where applicable the agreed redundancy payment is made.
