Diversity Brochure “Ready to Be Different”
Ready to be different “At Daimler, we don’t just build the best cars – we also offer the best models that enable individual solutions for the perfect balance between our professional and our private lives. The world we live and work in is undergoing unprecedented change. Creativity, flexibility and responsiveness are the top skills going forward into the future. We are working hard to create a culture fostering and enabling these competencies. A culture in which new ideas can florish – to shape the future of mobility for customers around the globe.” Wilfried Porth Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, Human Resources and Director of Labor Relations, IT & Mercedes-Benz Vans 10 Diversity is what drives us Imagine the following scene: An Italian, an Ethiopian, a Turk, a Chinese lady and a few Swabians meet... Jokes actually begin like this, but in our manufacturing plants this is how the early shift begins. And even if the scene might seem a bit contrived, you can actually encounter this at Daimler. We were one of the first companies in our industry to firmly establish Diversity Management in our strategy back in 2005. We don’t just tolerate diversity, we strive for it: About 289,000 people from 160 countries work side-by-side at Daimler. Our understanding of diversity includes much more than country of origin: In our plants you are just as likely to meet a designer in a wheelchair, a refugee doing a bridge internship and a transgender colleague from vehicle development, as a 16 year-old apprentice or a 60 year-old quality manager. -
Index to Aerial Photographs in the Worcestershire Photographic Survey
Records Service Aerial photographs in the Worcestershire Photographic Survey Aerial photographs were taken for mapping purposes, as well as many other reasons. For example, some aerial photographs were used during wartime to find out about the lie of the land, and some were taken especially to show archaeological evidence. www.worcestershire.gov.uk/records Place Description Date of Photograph Register Number Copyright Holder Photographer Abberley Hall c.1955 43028 Miss P M Woodward Abberley Hall 1934 27751 Aerofilms Abberley Hills 1956 10285 Dr. J.K.S.

1961 Daimler SP 250 Sports Fibreglass Bodied 2 Seater with 2½ Litre V8 Engine
1961 Daimler SP 250 Sports Fibreglass bodied 2 seater with 2½ litre V8 engine This car dates from April 1961 and was originally sold in Wolverhampton. From 1974 to 1989 it was owned by the well-known Daimler specialist David Manners. It was then bought by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, and came to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in 1991. It was later refurbished in the original colour of Mountain Blue, although with red trim rather than grey, with the assistance of Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations Department. By the late 1950s, the Daimler Company was in trouble. A confused model policy had led to dwindling sales. There was not much money available to invest in much-needed new models. However, a brace of new all-aluminium V8 engines, of 2½ litres and 4½ litres, designed by Edward Turner, were under development. The question was - in what cars should these engines be fitted? After trying to adapt a Vauxhall body for a new saloon, Daimler decided to launch the smaller of the new engines in a sports car, conceived with the American market in mind. The new car was in every respect a departure from traditional Daimler practice. The chassis was inspired by the Triumph TR3A, and the strikingly styled body was made from fibreglass. The new model was launched at the New York Motor Show in April 1959 and was at first called the Daimler Dart – until the Chrysler Corporation protested that they had this name registered for a Dodge, and Daimler was obliged to change their new model's name to SP 250. -
MJP PAYNE Page No. 1 of 1 the Miss
The Miss Phillips’s Conglomerate of the Malvern Hills - Where is Phillips’s original site? M. J. P. Payne Herefordshire & Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, Geological Records Centre, University of Worcester, Henwick Grove, Worcester WR2 6AJ ABSTRACT The discovery in 1842 of a Silurian beach deposit on the Malvern Hills was an important step in uncovering the geological history of the area. Knowledge of the site of this discovery has been lost for about a century but a number of possibilities have been put forward. In this paper, the documentary evidence is analysed and compared with the local geography and geology. The location of the discovery is unambiguously determined. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1842 Ann Phillips, the sister of the Survey geologist John Phillips, found fragments of a fossiliferous beach conglomerate on the Malvern Hills. This was soon followed by the discovery of the bed known now as the ‘Miss Phillips’s Conglomerate’. The exact location of this discovery has been a minor mystery for the last hundred or more years. This is an important site in the history of geological research in the Malvern Hills since it established the probable relationship between the igneous rocks of the hills and the Silurian sediments to the west. In particular, it appeared to demonstrate that Silurian sediments lay as a beach deposit upon what are now known to be Precambrian rocks, and therefore post-dated them. This ran counter to the prevailing view at the time, that the igneous rocks were intrusive, ‘trap’ rocks of a date later than the Silurian (Murchison, 1839). The true nature of the western boundary of the Precambrian rocks of the Malvern Hills has nevertheless been a topic of much controversy and varied opinions up to the present day (e.g. -
1 Dear Members Welcome to the First Newsletter of 2014
Volume: 2014 issue: 1 Dear Members Welcome to the first Newsletter of 2014 under my editorship. I first held this committee post during the 90’s and it was then produced on a typewriter (later a word-processor) and print items were cut, pasted in (literally), and then printed on Keith Bowley’s hand-fed photocopier! For graphic historians amongst you, the title page was hand drawn and featured type by Letraset. It has been asked why we bother with a club newsletter since social media and digital publishing now allow news to be disseminated quickly and efficiently. We believe there is still a purpose to be served by producing such a publication which brings all the news, features, results etc. that appear in other places (notably the website) into one document. Not all our membership regularly “surf” the website and some may just prefer catching up with club activities in this type of format. There are still a significant number of members who are not able to access information from the website at all. It is also quicker and easier for us to produce information in formats suitable for any member with specific disability requirements (large print etc.) from a document that has already been collated and formatted. With apologies to “Spitfire” Ales. So the newsletter will continue to carry news of club A plea from the Track & Field Team Captain events, fixtures, results of note, “pleas for help”, committee statements, coaching information and Our new Men’s Team Captain Jason Manton is anything else the membership would wish to include appealing to all track and field athletes to be available (unless of course, you let us know differently!) for selection this coming season. -
The Worcestershire Beacon Race Walk
The Worcestershire Beacon Race Short Walk The Worcestershire Beacon Race Walk This is an abridged version of walk 5, taken from the ‘Pictorial Guide to the Malvern Hills’ Book Two: Great Malvern. This walk seeks to avoid where ever possible very steep slopes and steps. However, this is a walk on the Malvern Hills and this means there is no avoiding some fairly tough sections along the walk. Copies of the book are available from the Tourist Information Centre, Malvern Book Co- operative, Malvern Gallery, Malvern Museum and Malvern Priory. Priced £8.50 This 5 mile circular walk mostly follows the route of the Worcestershire Beacon Race and provides an interesting, if strenuous, route from Rose Bank Gardens via St Ann’s Well, past the Goldmine and up to the summit of the Worcestershire Beacon. After soaking up the incredible panorama of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire countryside the return journey circumnavigates North Hill before returning to Great Malvern. Allow a whole morning or afternoon for this scenic walk, or if enjoying refuelling stops probably 5 hours is nearer the mark. Turn right out of the Abbey hotel passing through the Priory Gatehouse and as the Post Office is reached, take the sharp left up to the Wells Road with Belle Vue Terrace to the right. Taking care at this junction of the busy Wells Road cross-over to the entrance of Rose Bank Gardens with Malvern’s newest sculpture the eye catching ‘Buzzards’. Belle Vue Terrace Shops 1 The Worcestershire Beacon Race Short Walk Every year since 1953, on the second Saturday in October, Malvern’s most popular running event, the Worcestershire Beacon Race takes place from the Rose Bank Gardens next to the Mount Pleasant Hotel (Map Reference SO 7746 4577). -

Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview
Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview Origins of the name Daimler Confusingly, the name Daimler is used by two completely separate groups of car manufacturers. The history of both companies can be traced back to the German engineer Gottlieb Daimler who built the first cars in 1889. This was the origin of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, which is translated as Daimler Motor Company, which has manufactured vehicles since the 1890s. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, having sold licences to use the Daimler name in a number of countries. The licence granted in 1891 to the British F. R. Simms & Co included the right to use the Daimler name in Great Britain and in 1896 the British Daimler Motor Company was founded. History of the Daimler Motor Company (GB) The Daimler Motor Company Limited, was an independent In the 1950s, Daimler stopped making Lanchesters, and tried British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. to widen its appeal with a line of new developed sport cars J. Lawson in 1896, which set up its manufacturing base in and high-performance luxury limousines. Their chairman, Sir Coventry. The company bought the right to the use of the Bernard Docker and his newly married wife Norah Collins Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and performed highly publicised extravagances. This led to the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft of Cannstatt, Germany. After fact that the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II, who had a early financial difficulty and a reorganization of the company preference for Rolls-Royce anyway, did not use Daimler for in 1904, the Daimler Motor Company was purchased by official events since 1955.
