I was told that it had recently lost three highly skilled, valuable, well-trained toolmakers who had gone off to be milkmen.
They have been trained as mechanical engineers, toolmakers, mechanics and fitters.
He is a toolmaker and an active trade unionist.
I recall seeing a plant with more than 1,000 toolmakers and tool fitters.
The first thing is that the cases of toolmakers born after 1923, and, in some very special cases, after 1925, are not being reviewed.
The comprehensive skills of toolmakers such as my father were replaced by narrower and more specialised skills, some of them appropriate only to particular toolrooms.
This man's occupation was not recorded as that of a toolmaker.
I think of a toolmaker who lives in my borough who has had two major redundancies in the last eight years.
