M& B Cape Hill Brewery, Birmingham. Ex-workers and family members Information wanted please.

Hello

Thankyou for taking the time to click on my appeal. I am an avid collector of M&B Cape Hill memorbilia and my family has strong ties with the old brewery. My family and I attend the memorial services at the Cenataph every year as my Great-Uncles name is on the Cenataph and quite a few of my family members used to work there.
What I am looking for is information. I am very interested in talking to ex-members of staff from the people who worked in the actual Cape Hill brewery (even if you were just sweeping the floors) right down to the lorry drivers who used to do the deliveries. What I am looking to do is create a portfolio. The type of information I am looking for are things like your name, what was your job there, what period of time, what did enjoy about your job, the sense of community within the Company, little stories that you can tell etc. Have you any old photographs you could possibly scan and share? I am especially interested in talking to those who were one of the last 363 members of staff that remained just before the brewery closed. Also what was it like working there during the war periods WW1 and WW2. Do you attend any of the memorial services there? Would you like to? Do you know anyone who you could pass my number onto who could help me?
At some point in the future when we have enough people i would like to do some kind of reunion. If you are interested in my project, whether you would like to help me in my search or just help me with my enquiries any kind of information at all is very welcome. any information you do not wish to disclose there is no obligation to do so. All information will be treated as confidential if you wish.
Thanks very much for reading. Please message back or ring Emma 07533840662 or 07929213899 or email me at emsymosey@hotmail.co.uk or you can write to me, but you will have to message me for it. Thanks again.
