The range of radios, televisions, computers and telephones has changed considerably since these photo’s were taken.

The first time I ever entered Trewins was to purchase a portable radio from this department. The department was then in the old building, in the basement. This was in 1957 when I was still at school! I chose a Roberts radio paying about £12. I was served by Trevor Kearey, who was a section manager. He later moved to London as Assitant Buyer on Radio and Telelvision.

You can still purchase a Roberts radio today from the Audio and Television departments. However, it will cost a bit more than £12!
Trevor Keareys’ daughter Lis is a partner at John Lewis, Watford.

I worked with Dennis Raistrick from October 1972 to October 1975 before I moved to John Barnes then Brent Cross.
I have very fond memories of my time at Trewins working with Alan van der Pant who I see quite often as he lives locally to the branch.
I keep in touch with Jon Bemment, Pete Laho, David Dunaway (he is now one of my retired partners – I am retirement secretary as well here;) Pat Driscoll and work with Michael Horniman and Richard Timson in the branch here.
Does anyone remember me?
Cheers
