Right at the Heart of Hotpoint 1974

Description

This article from 1974 expresses confidence in the long term future of the Hotpoint Factory at Llandudno Junction. The company claims excellent worker-managment relations, with no recent strikes, full order books and the workers sharing in the company's profits. In addition workers have acess to cheap canteen meals, holiday bonuses, high wages, a well-supported social club and modern working conditions.
The Llandudno Junction factory produce washing machines aimed at the British market rather than continental Europe. While foreign firms control 49% of the British washing machine market, Hotpoint is aiming to enlarge its share of the market.
The article is accompanied by photographs of several long-serving employees.
