Chance Comments
During 1947, the company decided to produce a bi-monthly, in-house magazine for the benefit of all employees. In March 1948, the very first Chance Comments was produced; see cover, right. The magazine would continue until 1963, when the magazine was amalgamated into Pilkington Brothers' own magazine, Cullet News.
Employees were encouraged to recall their experiences and the number of contributors came from all sectors of the workforce. Each issue was liberally illustrated with photos, illustrations and cartoons. The editor throughout the period from 1948 to 1963 was Arthur Ogden, the Personnel Manager.
All the available issues are now available to download online.
