Webster and Bennett

Another not often mentioned Coventry engineering company. Any old employees of Webster & Bennett out there?

Hi Mick, Great to see you at the Wickmans 100 event. I'm a Webster and Bennett apprentice (1969 intake). I trained and worked as a Machine Tool Fitter, eventually moving into methods Engineering where I stayed until Webster and Bennett machine production was moved Banner Lane in the early 80's. I worked for Archie Eglise until being made redundant. Webster & Bennett were located in Northey Road, Coventry (near to the Lockhurst Lane railway bridge). As you know all W & B apprentices spent their first year at the Wickmans Apprentice School at Banner Lane. I also played in goal for the Wickmans Football team for many years where I'm pretty sure I met you when playing under Terry Smith as manager.

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum
