Worked in Nedfin Bank and Allied Bank for many years until finally leaving Cape Town in 1994 to return to UK.

AS I have left it very late indeed to join the Association I would welcome any contact from any of my old colleagues who remember me, possibly by some of my nicknames such as 'Gannet' in Depot, or 'Jock', or 'Causie'.
