Neil McGowan Ltd
One day I will write the story of Crosland and Pickstone Ltd .
For now here ia a copy photo of dad's business card when he lived in London midweek and ran the London office from Holland St W8
Neil Mcgowan was a wholly owned subsiduary of Crosland and Pickstone Ltd and made up children's garments for Littlewoods among others.It was based in High Blantyre Lanarkshire on an industrial estate and at its height employed about 35 people, mainly women, as machinists.
it was run for most of its life by 2 Scottish women who were nice enough but lacked drive and determination. It went bust with the rest of the company in the 1980's
