President - Secretary
and Chief Executive Officers
Brinkworth Models was always
a husband and wife partnership, and apart from a brief period in the 70's,
it remained a family owned and operated business. From the days of building our models on the kitchen table,
to the final years where we had lots of help from non-family workers, we never the less still maintained a very strong
family atmosphere in the workplace. |
Our final workplace was a 2000 sq. ft.
building that we built ourselves in Richmond B.C. Canada, situated on the same
lot as our residence, allowing Elza and I to stay very close to the business.
As the majority of our clients were in the United States, and usually in a
different time zone, it was important
for us to be accessible at all times. Our normal workdays
were from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, but we were available by Phone, Fax,
or E-mail all the time.
Our two sons, Barry
and Bill, shared the same interest in this profession, and work as part
of our team for many years, to continue the family tradition of custom fine scale modeling.
Now that Elza and I have retired, the two boys have gone off to follow their own
dreams in the automotive world, and links can be found on this site to highlight
their great progress in that field.
In our retirement
Elza's
relaxation is still the garden
or greenhouse. My interest has now come full circle from my
early days with Bassett-Lowke Ltd. in the UK, and I am now getting back into the
model railway collector world.
