From Coventry
8: The Manager's Tale
Ian Ramsay worked in the same car plant for 18 years, and made his way up from apprentice to manager. The future looked good.
Then came Ayatollah Khomeini , the Islamic revolution and the Iran/Iraq war. Events halfway round the world from Coventry took a hand in his future. Talbot exports to Iran fell to nil and he was declared redundant.
Ian thought it wouldn't be long before he got another job but reality has proved much harsher - both for him and for the city.
