Does Anyone Remember Kango Electirc Hammers Ltd In Sw19
A Memory of Morden.
My father worked for a company called Kango Electric Hammers LTD after leaving school (in 1962) as a Lathe Operator. I believe he worked for them straight from school so we are looking at late 1962 - late 1964 as he went into the army in September '64.
They were based at Lombard Road Trading Estate, Lombard Road, Mordon (or maybe South Wimbledon), SW19.
Does anyone remember the company or worked for them during this time? I am looking for any information I can find on them as they do not seem to appear anymore and I have spent many hours on the internet trying to find them without any joy.
I look forward to hearing from anyone with any stories

I work in the East Kilbride depot Scotland and in the summer when they had a Factory shutdown i had to work in the factory with the two engineers from London and Birmingham to build machines in the factory for emergency orders. Some names I remember, Bob Riddle ,John Morley , Alf Richie, Bob Walsh and a load more . Great company at the time and some great people .John Morley was the big boss and at 16 I had the pleasure of sorting a bracket onto his Ferrari and washing the car for him.
I still have the two coins from 1977 that every member of staff were given for the Silver Jubilee.
t, worked for Tibbett and Brittain at the time, Mick Duffy, Archie, John Lambie and our old boss Dave White.
Mr Stillwell wrote to my mother in Australia until he passed away.
Jean Page also worked in the office wit my Mum.
