1966 Obituary[1]

"We regret to record the death, on November 5, of Mr. Frank Shepherd, managing director of Head Wrightson Steel Foundries Ltd., Thornaby-on-Tees and Stockton, since 1962. He was also a director of Head Wrightson Iron Foundries Ltd. Mr. Shepherd began his career as an engineering apprentice with Head Wrightson and after service in several departments, settled in the pattern shop, thus becoming the fifth generation of his family to be a pattern maker. He was promoted to works inspector in the steel foundry and later became assistant to the general manager. In 1940 he was appointed to the control of labour for the foundries and other departments and eventually became personnel manager for the whole Head Wrightson organisation."
