EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of John Laing and Son Limited. The image showcases the catering staff standing proudly beside a lavish buffet, specially arranged to celebrate former director W M Johnson and his wife's Golden Wedding anniversary party. The Golden Wedding celebration organized by Laing for Mr. Johnson spanned three remarkable days filled with joyous festivities. It commenced with an elegant directors lunch, followed by an intimate dinner party held in town, and culminated in this delightful buffet lunch at Mill Hill. The photograph not only immortalizes the dedication of the chefs and waitresses who meticulously prepared and served delectable dishes but also reflects the spirit of camaraderie that permeated throughout John Laing and Son Limited during this era. Published in January 1969, this event was deemed significant enough to be featured prominently in Laings' monthly newsletter titled "Team Spirit". This snapshot serves as a testament to the company's commitment to honoring its esteemed employees while fostering a sense of unity among its workforce. As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene from the 1960s, we are transported back to an era where hard work was celebrated alongside moments of jubilation. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into both the professional excellence exhibited by John Laing and Son Limited as well as their unwavering appreciation for their dedicated team members.
