EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dressed for the beach" captures a moment of pure joy and camaraderie during a Laing staff outing to Skegness in Lincolnshire. The image showcases a smartly dressed man and woman, exuding elegance and style amidst the sandy shores. Believed to be G. B. Malcolm, this dapper gentleman joined the company in 1928, eventually rising through the ranks to become Area Agent in 1948 and District Manager in 1950. His presence radiates confidence as he stands alongside his equally fashionable female companion. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era where fashion was meticulously attended to even on casual outings. The group of approximately 100 people from various contracts including Grimsby, Carringtons Coppice, East Leake, and Leicester came together for this memorable excursion. The attire showcased is truly remarkable - from skirts with matching jackets adorned with stylish hats for women to impeccably tailored suits paired with polished shoes for men. Even sporting plus fours, these individuals epitomize the essence of middle-aged fashion in the 1940s. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print not only immortalizes an unforgettable day at Skegness but also serves as a testament to Laing spirit - unity among colleagues who found solace outside their work environment while embracing timeless style that transcends generations.
