My other half and I set up our own manufacturing & installation company in 1972 after he was demobbed and I shouldn't have to tell you that unions wouldn't allow companies to modernise because new machinery meant loss of jobs for union members. I know of one national company which hid new standings under a layer of concrete whilst some other health and safety building work was being carried out; then, during the Accrington annual holiday shut down, the thin top layer of concrete was removed exposing the standings and the new plant was installed.
