Just heard that George Williams has passed away at the age of 96, he was buried or cremated in Crickhowell on Saturday, mr Williams gave hundreds of people a standard of living that was way above anything that was on offer to the people of South Wales, he introduced the P B R system into his factories that allowed the workforce to earn big money, I would like to thank mr Williams for all that I have today, he was a true gentleman who didn't mind his workforce earning big money as long as he made a profit, R I P mr Williams gone but will never be forgotten :old:

Met George once or twice in the latter years of Christie Tyler. 1986 to 2004 Action Furniture-Pendragon Furniture-Contour Mobel. It was a hard slog on those work benches but at least we earned good wages, so yes thank you George.
