SUMMARY:Stourbridge Group - Weighing the World - The Story of W&T Avery Ltd
DESCRIPTION:Weighing the World – The Story of W&T Avery Ltd\nSpeaker: Andrew Lound \n  \n \nThe name Avery is synonymous with weighing\, and quality. The firm’s roots date back to 1728 although the name ’Avery’ doesn’t go over the shop until 1817. A family business that grew from strength to strength guided by some of the country’s most colourful businessmen until the sudden death of Henry J. Avery in 1894. The firm then became a Public Limited Company with a board of directors and an externally sourced managing Director—the famous William E. Hipkins—the man who would turn Avery’s into the greatest weighing machine company in the world. With access to rare images and research Andrew tells the story of a legend in industry from the anvil of a small workshop to the age of micro processors. A success story with all of the drama of a novel. As usual with an Odyssey Dramatic Presentation® it is high entertainment and not too heavy for the general audience. Accompanied by music\, images and props. \n
