AYLMER AUGUSTUS LIARDET held the important position of general manager of Messrs. Leyland Motors, Ltd., for over twenty years, and had latterly been a director of the firm. He was born in 1879 and served his apprenticeship from 1897 to 1900 with Messrs. Vosper and Company, Ltd., marine engineers, of Portsmouth.

After some experience as draughtsman to Messrs.

He then joined Messrs. Thwaites Brothers, general engineers, of Bradford, Yorkshire, and after a period in the drawing office eventually became assistant works manager and then works manager.
