We were visited by one of SMR’s former employees at our last open day, Brad Dorn.

Brad’s family have a long history with SMR, with both Brad’s father Bruce and uncle Kenny also working at SMR.

Brad bought along many photos to share with us, here’s just a couple of Bruce.

We look forward to sharing more photos with you soon.
