    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS DUDLEY (Inc. Harts Hill, Kates Hill, Priory, Woodside) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

  • Application of Sc21 in an Sme
    TEC Concepts Ltd APPLICATION OF SC21 IN AN SME COMPANY OVERVIEW High-Tech Engineering is a specialist precision engineering company (SME) based in Houghton Regis, having approx 27 employees with customer markets in motor sport and aerospace. The company was formed in 1985 and has always looked to the future proactively, innovating and developing techniques to meet the current economic challenges and customer requirements. SC21 POTENTIAL The Managing Director, Mr Steve Tickner, recognised SC21 as the future of the aerospace & defence industry, and subsequently High-Tech was an early SC21 signatory. The company joined the SBAC special interest group for performance & development, and attended a number of the Gardner/GKN SC21 workshops run by TEC Concepts at the Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce which provided a detailed overview of all the SC21 tools and techniques. TRAINING ACADEMY Industry- wide, finding skilled workers was proving to be difficult and a barrier to High-Tech’s future development. As an innovative solution, High–Tech decided to train their own personnel and the company developed a training academy alongside the manufacturing arm of the business. The academy has its own Training Manager and can now offer NVQ training. Future developments include partnerships with local schools and the National Skills Council. The academy operates as its own cost centre separate to the main business and will supply highly trained graduates to industry. STEP 1 – COMMITMENT The company engaged TEC Concepts as an SBAC Strategic Partner & Training Partner to conduct TEC’s Phase 1 (SC21 diagnostics) which was 50% funded by MAS-WM. Their commitment meant not just paying lip service to the new flavour of the month; it realised that signing-up to SC21 meant the beginning of a fundamental business transformation.
