Dawn McLachlan is leading the group which has organised a reunion for former employees of Litton Interconnection Products.

The company set up in the town in 1982, originally based at Whitehill Industrial Estate, moving to Eastfield Industrial Estate in 2001, before the factory was closed in February 2006.

Mrs McLachlan worked with Litton for 20 years, she has fond memories of her time there.

She said: ''When it started there was only about five or six people working there, in the end there was about 200 people. We were very successful, as we did work for mobile phones, doing the base stations which enable you to get a signal on your mobile. It was a very competitive business.

''I will never work anywhere like that again, everybody pulled together, hence the reason we all want to get together for this reunion. It was a great crowd of people and we all enjoyed our work."
