Glad I didn't take the role offered, a few years later GEC was no more - it shrank and shrank and became Alsthom or somesuch, if memory serves.
By the noughties all these huge British companies that had existed and thrived 20 years ago were no more*
*And no its not the EU's fault, Germany, and to a lesser extent, France managed to preserve their industrial jewels.
It's simply down to the prevailing British ethos that services were more important.
