Harland and Wolff - Shipbuilding and Engineering Works

Perhaps the highest accolade given to Chief Draughtsman Jack Gordon of Shipyard Technical Planning on the day he retired (1982) was the remark made by one of the men who worked for him: "Jack always treated people as people". Many others confirmed the truth of that statement, including Manager Simon Bridge, who thanked Jack for 43 years' valuable service to the firm and wished him well in retirement.
