Container Gavin

After finishing grammar school at 17, Robin undertook a 5-year engineering apprenticeship. He worked as a shipbuilding and train repairman before joining Kodak as a draftsman, where he spent 30 years in various roles, including being a technician.

In his last few years at Kodak, Robin returned to the drawing office and was given the opportunity to become a senior member of staff which he accepted. During this role, he was assigned a personal apprentice called John, whom he got along well with for the 3 years they worked together. After leaving Kodak, Robin worked briefly for John before once again becoming a draftsman.

In his later life, Robin got a job similar to his brother’s, as a community service supervisor where he checked up on people who were on probation. He then became an officer himself and carried out site visits.
