A sculpture celebrating the achievements of Eric. K. Cole CBE and the EKCO brand. Eric's suit is created from images of the factory's workers, products and press cuttings. It is a dedication to EKCO employees. "Our Eric" stands on the plinth, but his suit makes it clear that more than just a brand, Eric built a community.
Anne worked with Tamsin Evans, to create the figure and Michael Condron, for the radio.
For detailed information about the project and images visit Southend Museum's website.
