Known affectionately as "Bunter", Phillip was the longest serving ex-WA employee at the time of his death from cancer in 2014 (51 years). After the demise of WA, he continued to work for Shearings and was 66 when he died. Starting in 1963 as apprentice to Eric Stockwell, he became a very skilled fitter and popular employee. He is sorely missed by family and colleagues.

It was a slow and laborious process and Brian was one of WA's specialists. He left WA when the job ended and went to work for National at Liversedge.
