Customer Service letter leads to historic connection..It’s always nice to receive personal letters from satisfied customers, but recently a letter from a Mrs. Hedges of Bolehall near Tamworth enabled a personal connection with a character from the Tamworth Industrial Co-operative Society of 1887. Mrs Hedges, an arthritis sufferer, purchased a cooker from our Homelectric Department via telephone. She thanked our CEO Mr. Richard Hughes for the service and care shown by staff and added in her letter that her grandfather (Mr. Harry Selvester) was a founder member of T.C.I.S. many years ago. In replying Mr.Hughes indicated that her grandfather was in an early Society photograph and that he had enclosed a copy of the aforementioned photograph.
