My sincere condolences to Shirley and the family. Ray and Barbara Barnett (my Mum) were good friends in Middle Districts Lions and I remember what a lovely gentleman Brian was.

My deepest sympathy to you all, many memories from many years ago of doing my apprenticeship in the early eighties and before that working Friday night and Saturday morning in the office by spare parts. It was great to get together 18 years ago at the reunion and catch up with a lot of old faces and friends. Rest in peace Mr Watt and hugs to your family xox

So sorry to hear about Brian passing away. My thoughts are with Shirley and the family. My Dad spent all his working life at Leader and Watt and when he passed away in 2020, Brian was kind enough to speak at Dads service.

To Brian's family,
So sorry to read of Brian's recent passing.
As an apprentice @ Leader & Watt in the early '70s, I will never forget the amazing paint job Brian did on his Mk 2 Zephyr with an " Electrolux" vacuum cleaner, ( grey & purple),if I remember correctly.
I thoroughly enjoyed the past employee's social he thoughtfully arranged some years ago,(time flys).
I bumped into Brian a couple of years ago & all I could see was his dad "Hoppy", talk about peas in a pod!
R.I.P Brian.
Peter Claridge.
