PARFUMS CHRISTIAN DIOR

I am in this photo, and can remember it being taken, Christian Dior was a great place to work, I loved it there, everyone was lovely. 

Don't be shy Sarah, where are you in the picture

I worked for PCD in the 70's as the delivery driver with regular trips up to Mount Street in London which was the Head office. I remember spending the weekend moving everything from the old warehouse which was opposite the Green Arrow depot to the new place pictured. Mrs Pawsey was the Boss of the Newhaven operation and Mr Varley was the big boss who was mainly based at there London HQ. I think the warehouse supervisor was a Mr Tuppin. We use to get a free bottle of Moet for Christmas. Betty was the cleaner, and heaven help you if you walked on her freshly washed floor in the staff rest-room. I've still got the "Tupper ware" she gave me as a wedding present. I lived in Meeching Road and use to work in the evenings with the A&E mobile disco. I left Newhaven in 1981 after my Nan, Lydia Phythian died, & live in North Yorkshire. I came down to Newhaven 6 years ago and was still able to name most of the old shops in the High street, sad I know.

thought to be circa 1986. Left to right Back Row: 1 Ann Allcorn, 2 Debbie Hannaford, 3 Query, 4 Query, 5 Lisa-?, 6 Martin-?, 7 Bill-?, 8 John Weaver, Mark-?

I worked for Dior in the Display Department as secretary to the Manager from 1989 until 1993 and I think it's Maureen Haren next to Bev on the right side of the middle row.

So nice to find this blog. My Mum Audrie Pawsey passed away on 20th April at the ripe old age of 91. She was glam till the end and tried to run the care home that was her home before she died, as if she was still at Newhaven. Her funeral is on 26th April, I would love to be able to quote any memories that you have.  

Middle row far right in black is Diane White my sister, sadly no longer with us.

Next to me was Nita I think that was her name who sadly died very young very sad. 

My husband, Terence Baker, was the company accountant for Moët and Chandon and worked next door in another converted warehouse on Avis Way. Each year the Dior exam organised a Christmas party and our daughter, Kate, was invited. There was always a fabulous gift and one year the gift was a teddy with very long legs. He was named Christian and went everywhere with her. She is 40 this year and Christian is still around although he is rather off-white. Terence is 75 soon and I will be using this photo in his birthday book. Fabulous memories! The best Staff parties ever! 

Good memory's, I'm 3rd from the left in the. back row.

I worked for Audrie Pawsey in the offices in Park Lane, in 1963 to 1968 we had fun it was my first job and she was very kind to me, it was sad when they moved to Newhaven, my name was Julie Wright don't know why I typed her name in but glad I did, great memories.
