Our three children attended Sackville School in East Grinstead. Elizabeth after taking her A Levels left school to work in a Building Society. For the next few years her employers were subject of several take-overs as the building societies amalgamated. During this time she gained a Business Studies Degree from the Open University. She finished working as a Manager at the busy East Croydon Branch of the Halifax. After an initial failed marriage, in 2000, she married Wyn Jones and in June 2003 gave birth to our first grand daughter Bethan. Wyn is an accountant by profession and the family have recently moved to Warrington where he has become the financial director of a Mental Health Charity
Christopher on leaving school attended Brighton University and attained a HND in business studies. He commenced work with a armaments manufacturing company in Portslade, Sussex. Whilst with the company he gained a MBA in Business Studies. In July 1991 he married Ruth Jackson. He then joined Nokia Communications working at the manufacturing base at Camberley Surrey. He was subsequently promoted to their head office in Finland and was required to move home. His wife, a qualified pharmacist declined to move with him and the marriage ended. To date he has not remarried. He lived in Finland for three years and was made a Director of the company responsible for global purchasing and as such travelled the world. He now lives back in the United Kingdom undertaking the same role, its a case of ‘have laptop will travel.’
