Jane Gibbs – My Dad was a perfectionist

Simon: Do you know how he landed the work to start with?

Jane: I honestly don’t know. No, I like to think because he was very good at what he did. He was actually, he was quite a perfectionist and later on in years he worked, gosh until he was about 70 I’m guessing, and then he would always be very pernickety about wood and quite often would pull holes in the youngers work ethic or what they’d done, so yeah I would imagine he was a really good workman.
