Description: | The sales conference was held at the Europa Hotel in London. In this image, the heads of seven senior managers have been superimposed onto the bodies of the first Apollo team. Huntley & Palmers specifically requested permission from NASA to be able to do this. The event started with the lights being dimmed and a voice preparing for rocket take-off. The astronauts are (back row, left to right) David Howard-Allen (Sales Training Manager), Michael Paxton (Public Relations Manager) and Dennis Gales (Advertising Manager) (front row, left to right) , Richard Palmer (Marketing Director). Bill van Anmen (Head of Huntley & Palmers sales force) and Raymond Lee, Senior Sales Manager of Huntley & Palmers. At this point, one year before Huntley & Palmers joined with Jacobs, the company was still seen as a separate entity with only minor links with Peek Frean. In fact, it was not until 1976 that the sales forces of the three companies were to amalgamate. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | social history trade event advertising people | Temporal: | start=1968-12-20; end=1968-12-20; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Reading Standard | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
