Miles Marshall

GYPROC of ROCHESTER

The old ‘Court’ was next taken over by Gyproc, manufacturers of plasterboard, though it was only their Contracts Department that came to Lacey Green, supplying and erecting partitions and suspended ceilings, so only stores and offices came here.

MEETING MICHAEL KNOTT

By a curious coincidence it was my daughter-in-law, at TRADA in Naphill, who put me in touch with Michael Knott, then working at Gyproc, who I later discovered to have been the first editor of Hallmark.

Ted Janes

  In 1971 James Mowatt took over the editor's role of Hallmark, established the year before, from Michael Knott. His first edition was the 7th of this bi-monthly magazine.

Together with Michael Knott, James Mowatt and myself he was responsible for getting Hallmark established in the early difficult years, and his own gardening page for three years was eagerly read.
