Albert W. Davies ( -1959) works director of Mavor and Coulson


1958 Obituary [1]

WE have learned with regret of the death of Mr. Albert W. Davies, which occurred, in Glasgow, on August 12. He was formerly the works director of Mavor and Coulson, Ltd., in whose service he spent practically the whole of his career.

Mr. Davies served an apprenticeship with an engineering firm in Staffordshire and after its completion in 1896 joined Mavor and Coulson, Ltd. Mr. Davies was in turn, foreman, shop manager and works manager, and in 1920 was appointed to the board as work director. He retired from the board in 1948, though he continued as one of the firm's technical advisers up to the time of his death.
