At the end of June, Mr. W. A. Foulkes retired after 43 years' service and to mark the occasion a gathering took place at Childwall Five Ways branch on June 23rd to witness the presentation of a cheque by Mr. Ian Buchanan, Liverpool Assistant District Manager, on behalf of the subscribers. The proceedings were opened by Mr. E. E. S. Riley who spoke in the warmest terms of Mr. Foulkes's managership. Miss B. M. Carter, who has been Mr. Foulkes's secretary for a number of years, then presented a bouquet to Mrs. Foulkes. In his remarks Mr. Buchanan referred in the kindliest terms to the man we have all known as 'Father' Foulkes, to his competence and patience as a trainer of new juniors, to the basic kindliness of his character, and to his loyalty, faithfulness and devotion to the service of the Bank throughout the whole of his career.

The gift was to be devoted to the purchase of a Parker Knoll chair, he told us, and there was a special word of thanks to Miss B. M. Carter whose help all the years he had been at Childwall had been invaluable. A cocktail-cum-tea party followed and among the gathering of friends it was specially pleasing to note the presence of the local Managers of the Westminster and Midland Banks. Mr. Foulkes entered the Bank in 1917.
He served with H.M. Forces from 1918-19, afterwards serving for varying periods at Smithdown, Head Office, East, on H.O. Relief staff and at Woolton Road before his first appointment as Clerk-in-Charge at Woolton Road in 1938. He became Pro Manager at Heathfield in 1942 and Manager at Childwall Five Ways in 1946.
