EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Williams (LEFT), director of manufacture, Ford of Britain, and Mr William J Jayden (vice-president - Manufacturing) of Ford of Europe, stand proudly on the site of Ford's multi-million pound investment at The Waterton Estate in Bridgend, Wales. This print captures a significant moment in the history of British industry during the 1970s. Taken on September 12th, 1977, this image showcases the dynamic duo responsible for spearheading Ford's manufacturing operations in Britain and Europe. Mrs Williams' position as director highlights her exceptional leadership skills and determination to drive forward innovation within the automotive sector. Meanwhile, Mr Jayden's role as vice-president emphasizes his invaluable contribution to ensuring seamless production processes across multiple countries. The backdrop features Fords' state-of-the-art car plant at The Waterton Estate—a testament to their commitment to investing heavily in Wales.
