Bill
Cook is a man of many parts, most of which are his own.
On leaving school at 19 he entered the grubby world of fabrication and
welding engineering and at 25 was works manager of a factory developing
and producing medical equipment, with 27 staff looking up to him asking
"Why
him?"
This was the time to move to Scotland and the joys of self-employment.
The next 11 years were spent in the innovative design and manufacture
of equipment for the agricultural industry including work with helicopter
application equipment and the newly conceived concept of low ground pressure
vehicles and chemical application. His spare time was involved with mountain
rescue, team leader for three years, RNLI, inshore rescue boat crewmember,
walking, climbing, open canoeing and generally enjoying the outdoors whilst
designing equipment that potentially could damage it.
Time
to move on.
