Made In Leicester
By Brian Johnson
For many years Leicester was a leading manufacturing and exporting city but many of those companies are sadly no longer with us but will be remembered by most people as their brands became household names, but few people realise those companies were founded in Leicester. Therefore, this talk will be of interest to everyone, even if they didn't grow up in Leicester and know little of its industrial or retail past.
