In this print from the Historic England Archive, we are transported back to a joyous retirement celebration in Manchester during the 1970s. The image captures the essence of camaraderie and jubilation as guests gather around a sumptuous retirement spread, paying tribute to W G Cursons, an esteemed Laing Regional Director for the north-west who dedicated an impressive 45 years of service to the company. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and cheer as attendees help themselves to delectable party food. From savory bites to tantalizing desserts, every culinary delight seems meticulously arranged on beautifully adorned platters. As people indulge in this feast fit for a celebration, their smiles reflect both appreciation for Mr. Cursons' contributions and genuine enjoyment of each other's company. This snapshot not only showcases the spirit of unity within Laing but also highlights how important it was for colleagues to come together and honor one another's achievements.
