Dormer Tools is appealing to former employees to come forward with any company memorabilia such as photographs and videos.
The appeal comes at a time when the company prepares to move into a new multi-million pound, state-of-the-art facility in the Advanced Manufacturing Park, between Rotherham and Sheffield.
John O’Donoghue, general manager of Sandvik Group-owned Dormer Tools UK, said: “We are appealing to anybody in the region who may have worked for Dormer to come forward with any memorabilia related to the company or the old site at Sommerfield Street, Sheffield.
“It can be old photographs of colleagues at work to company letters. The items will all be compiled into a new section on our website, www.dormertools-amp.com, allowing us to reflect on our roots.”
The company has already discovered a variety of archive footage of its old Sommerfield Street site, but is keen to gain more.
“Dormer began as a small company in Sheffield in 1913, so there must be hundreds of people all over the region who have either worked for the company or known somebody who has. It’s played a huge part in a lot of people’s lives and a lot of memories have been made here,” Mr O’Donaghue offered.
“South Yorkshire is moving forward and Dormer Tools are proud to be a part of that, with the creation of a new facility at the AMP. But it’s good to remember how it all started and where it began.”
