Paul Sneddon was perhaps the best Factory Manager that Kitt Green has seen, He knew everyones name and would at least speak to you in passing.

@Phil Yates. On the three points you make, no he wasn't, no he didn't and no he wouldn't.

Geoff, I have to agree with Phil. Paul Sneddon was probably Kitt Greens best Factory Manager. I remember once, we were all in the 57 Club hall at a union meeting to discuss the next steps of a very messy strike. Sneddon walked in and locked the door behind him saying nobody is leaving this building until this gets sorted. It got sorted !! Phil is in no position to offer a reply Geoff as he sadly passed a few years ago.

@WN1 Standisher, sorry to hear that about Phil. I do stand by what I said about Paul Sneddon, there’s many people I worked at Heinz with and he never spoke to any of us or knew our names. And I remember losing a fortnights pay because he suspended us for putting an extra production overtime ban on. So much for sorting it.
