I was working for NSW Napper Stinton Woolley, a medium sized, modern ad agency located in their own new, 5 or 6 floor building in Great Chapel St in Soho - a sort of half street between Dean St and Wardour St and off Oxford St roughly half way between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus. As far as I know it is still there as I have seen it over the years, seems that NSW faded from the scene sometime in the seventies (maybe merged) and I think the building became a government office of some kind. Whenever I am in London I try to visit the Star cafe which was right next to the office and where I had countless meals and coffees over the 4 years I worked in NSW Soho, the owner Pop passed the cafe over to Mario his son and it has featured as a place to eat in London guides I have seen online. When I spoke to Mario a few years ago he recalled clearly the days of NSW.
Names from my time there - Mick Braham the account director I first worked for, Rodney Harris whose job I took over when he moved to media/research, Ken Astrop and Barry Threadgold 2 creative guys, Mrs Ross traffic, Mack Latto a creative director, Mrs Jay reception, Mike Salter my boss when I left - I'll probably add names later but its getting to be a bit of a laundry list.
As I said I was at NSW for nearly 4 years and it was over time to move on, not the easiest of tasks even in those days with advertising getting more and more the trendy thing to do -- even at my first agency Crawfords we had a Lord and a Hon member of Princess Margarets set working briefly in the production department.
