Co-op workers meet their boss
YOUNG Co-op workers met the boss at a dinner to celebrate their success in the organisation’s staff training scheme.
They are seen with Arthur Ledger, president of the Oxford and District Co-operative Society, at the Elms Hotel at Iffley, where awards were presented to trainees in 1967.
Certificates were presented to 34 Society employees who had completed day-release courses at local further education centres.
Speaking at the dinner, Mr Ledger, headmaster of Sandhills Primary School, said young people with a trade qualification were better off than those who “rushed off down the road to the Cowley car factories and piecework”.
