time
and when she could not get help from her own mother that was really crawl,
However now we had one of each was quite enough and asked that I promise him
there were to be no more. Something I would not do.
It was
not long before the job with Davey Paxman began to bore me and this was
further compounded with the fact I did not like the sales manager. I began
to scan the ‘Situations Vacant’ column of the newspapers, in search for
something more suitable. Eventually I was successful in getting a post with
Mobil Oil Company as a Diesel Engineer based at Westminster.
This
was a very good position it involved my travelling throughout the British
Rail Network. At the time British Rail were in the process of changing their
locomotives from steam to diesel. It was my responsibility to see that the
top managers knew about the Mobil Company and used Mobil oil in their new
Diesel locomotives. This involved a great deal of entertaining, staying at
the best hotels and meeting top managers in London clubs for lunch.
After
two years I was promoted to Head of the Railway Department at Mobil and my
salary rose in line to a cool One Thousand, five hundred pounds per annum.
Mobil had a number of engineers who were on the Membership Committee of the
Institution of Mechanical Engineers and they put through my application for
membership and I became an Associate member in 1958. I really enjoyed
working for Mobil and feel if I could have only remained with them I could
have progressed and gained a really high position with the company.
My
future now seemed rosy and more secure. Than it had ever been. This new
position in London was greeted with enthusiasm by Pamela’s parents. They
suggested we should move into a Comben and Wakeling house and it looked as
though we were going receive the promised wedding present although five
years after the event. The house was a nice, three bedroom, property in
North Wembly and we enjoyed living there for four years.
Just as
the Mobil Job was going so well my father in law Eric Wakeling asked my
views on joining his company “Comben & Wakeling Ltd.” He offered me the
position of Plant Manager. It was a great surprise and we were overjoyed.
We
thought a Directorship was bound to follow.... What fools we were!. However
at the time it looked promising so I resigned from the Mobil Company. I was
not totally convinced I was making the right decision for Mobil had just
promoted me to Head of the Railway Department, and was the Main Diesel
Engineer. My chief was very sorry to loose me but realised I had great
prospects ahead joining the family business I was given a wonderful send off
with a lunch at the Picadilly, in Fleet Street .at which all the senior
staff attended.
Leaving
Mobil required me to take a 40$ cut in salary. Soon I came to realise I had
made a very great mistake for I had lost and the best opportunity I was ever
to have to get to the top. My fellow Engineers at Mobil had insured my
professional engineer’s status and clearly if I had stayed with the company
I would have climbed to the top of my profession.
In the next chapter I will explain the history of Comben & Wakeling This
background will enable you to understand why I felt it would be a good move
to join such a prestigious company especially with the intimation that a
directorship was in the offing.
