Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Looks for Centenary Info

Next year Birmingham-based Dunlop Aircraft Tyres will celebrate its centenary and, with this in mind the company, it’s looking for help to bring back memories of its history. Dunlop Aircraft Tyres will celebrate its centenary with the publication of a book about the great history of the company. “Our book will be one of the focal points of our centenary celebrations,” said Dunlop Aircraft Tyres’ chairman, Ian Edmondson.

“To make sure that we capture everything from our great history, we are looking for people to help with memories, information or contacts and photographs that we can include – either about the firm itself or its place historically within the larger Dunlop/BTR organisation.

“Indeed it is the personal memories that will bring this book to life and, as so many people have either worked for Dunlop themselves or have had a friend or family at the company, we are sure that there are lots of stories out there ready to be told.”

Anyone with a story or picture to share should contact Stuart Hawker at Dunlop Aircraft Tyres on (0121) 627 7219 or email century@dunlopatl.co.uk. Any pictures will be digitally scanned and returned to their owner.
