I met Sir Kenneth Corfield a few times at Photography at Work/Focus on Imaging some years ago at the NEC.
At the time he'd lot long retired from Standard Telephones and Cables (a sub division of ITT) where he'd been managing director. He'd become involved with rescuing Gandolfi when the last 2 brothers decided to retire. Always every approachable and friendly he did manage to revive Gandolfi along with Brian Gould who ran the company moving it to Andover.
After Brian's death an employee tried to continue the company finally giving up about 2 years ago but in reality little was made or done since the early 20000's.
