Deauville was fabulous. It was probably the poshest Christmas company party I have ever attended. Our present was a Hermes tie. Okay, it was an extremely ugly one, but still, I still have it and even wear it once in a while.
Proudfoot did not do very well in those days but they had lots of cash from which they bought IMR. In fact, it was management at Proudfoot which was rather weak; after that company meeting Proudfoot was mainly managed by IMR directors.
What I found very interesting, IMR was a young company with only a few older people working there. Proudfoot on the other was the exact opposite. Proudfoot was a truly international company though. They had strongholds in the US, Australia, and South Africa.
Oh yes, and as one can see from the picture above, we did have lots to drink that evening...
