When, ten yfears ago, "the first Guide. to Employm~n~ for "London Boys ('md Girls was published, It was. my pnvileg:e, "as Chainnan'of the London Advisory CounCIl ~or Juyenile ""Employment, ~ to commend it to those interested m Choice of Employment.; as the most reliable and up-to-date suryey of the whole field .. bf employment for London Juvemles .. Smce .1928, however../rhe outer districts of London have expenenced mten­ sh<'lfilldustrial development. New trades, ~ew processes have come into being and new problems have ansen. The chanl;"es which have taken place have rendered imperative the reVISIOn of the original Guide, a task which is now completed. It is hoped that the New Guide will be of considerable assist­ ance to those who are responsible for advising boys and girls who are about to begin their industrial ca'eers. Too frequently does it happen that these juveniles, only vaguely a ware of the opportunities open to them, accept the first employment offered to them without enquiring into its suitability. The Local Com­ mittees for Juvenile Employment, whilst fully alive to the pres­ snre of economic considerations in far too many homes, endeavour to combat this attitude wherever practicable, and should find the Guide of the utmost help to them in this essential work. The thanks of the Council are due to the Ministry of Labour for arranging for the publication of the Guide, and for placing at their disposal officers fully qualified for the task of collecting and summarising the considerable amount of information ap­ pearing in this volume. The Council are also indebted to those employers, members of the appropriate trade organisations, and technical experts who have offered their :wide knowledge and experience for utilisation in the Guide. \Vithout their co­ operation, the Guide would not have that practical value which it undoubtedly possesses. MAX J. BON)!, Chairman of the London Regional Advisory Committee for Juvenile Employment. June, 1938. A 2 GUIDE TO EMPLOYMENT FOR GIRLS IN GREATER LONJl PREFACE. A handbook giving a description of the range· . os open to boys and girls in London was compiled t of occupatidon Advisory Council for Juvenile Employment and ly the}:;?n in I928· Many changes have taken place in the interveL pub"""ed de. there has been increasing industrial and residential d~ ~in.~Jecaxnen:, of the Metropolis beyond the London County Council bo~~R,rtaT\ and the Advisory Council formerly restricted to the A~ trative County of London has given place to the London Regional AdVISOry Council for Juvenile Employment covering an area within approximately IS miles of Channg Cross. In view of these chaIiges, and of the need for bringing up to date the details relating to occupations, the Guide to Employment has been completely revised. The field covered by the new handbook is broadly that of Greater London, and the employment conditions described are those obtaining in that region. The types of occ1fu':ons open to boys and girls educated at Elementary (inclu· Central) Schools have been considered: careers for Secondary School {>upils are ~e subj~t of pamj>h1ets iss1;led in the " Choice of Career" senes published by H.M. Stationery Office and these . have been excluded. The statutory school leaving age at the time of the compila­ tion of this haIidbook is I4 years and it will be noted that refer­ ence throughout is made, as appropriate, to that legal minimum a&e for recruitment. Application of the Education Act, I936, will result in the school leaving age being raised to I5 years in I939. When this change takes place the age of entry into occupations for which school leavers are now recruited at 14 years will be affected. The rates of wages quoted throughout the handbook are those current at the date of compilation. Wages, whether governed by Trade Boards or not, are subject to change; cur­ rent information on employment conditions, including wage rates and hours,· can be obtained at the Juvenile Departments of Employment Exchanges or at Juvenile Employment Bureaux. Changes have taken 'place in the distribution of the population on account of rehousmg and migration, and there has been considerable movement to the outer districts of London. In • The Factories Act. 1937. reduces the maximum number of. hours of work of boys and girls between the ages of I4 and 16 to « per week. This clause becomes operative in July 1:939. 234 APPENDIX A. ]UVBNJLE. ADvISOR.Y COIIMtTI'EES APPOINTED BY THE Mm!sTRY 0 .. LABOUR.

    Centre for Globalization Research School of Business and Management Corporate Brand Building at Shell-Mex Ltd in the Interwar Period CGR Working Paper 23 (September 2008) Michael Heller Abstract This paper is an analysis of corporate brand building at Shell-Mex Ltd in the inter-war period in Britain. While there has been some historical analysis of product brand development in the UK, this has not been the case in corporate or institutional brand building which has remained neglected. This paper outlines this process at Shell-Mex, the distributive arm in Britain for the Shell Transport and Trading Company, part of the larger Royal Dutch Shell Group. The paper argues that Shell consistently and coherently built up its corporate brand in the inter-war period through a series of strategies which included publicity, sponsorship of record breaking flights, links with empire, use of prominent artists, documentaries, road guides and association with the British countryside. This development of its corporate brand had multiple benefits for the group, both internally within its organisation, and externally in relation to its product brands and overall competitiveness.

It was correct at the time of publication, March 2003. Department of Planning and Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6QP. www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 52 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.
