I have just been reading about the history of WG Goetz and recognised a couple of very familular faces in the above picture. Having worked at Goetz for the best part of seven years in my late teens and early twenties I have many great memories of a great bunch of blokes and great trades people!
greetings just an interested reader, have a bit of a passion for Australian industrial history – is there anything left at all of this great company – did Mr Rotherham end up going to jail when he ruined it – I am deeply saddened if this great manufacturer has disappeared . Regards
Hi Gerry. NO, nothing left of the company. According to the ASIC website “Mr Northam was sentenced today by Judge Anderson in the Melbourne County Court to six months jail, to be released immediately on his entering into a recognisance in the sum of $500 to be of good behaviour for a period of two years.” (Mr Charles Victor Northam, not Mr. Rotherham). Regards.
