<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A sequel to "The Grocer's Boy", in which the author navigates a varied career through the retail trade during the 1960s. In the course of the decade, he managed several branches of a grocery chain before moving on to the world of further education, the Grocers' Institute and a major retail distributor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When the Swinging Sixties arrived in Tayside, Robert Murray had just become the youngest manager in the history of famous grocery business William Low & Co. Ltd. at only nineteen years of age. Little could he have realised that this was to be just the beginning of a decade of incredible social and cultural change for Scotland and the wider world - a revolution which would touch every life and workplace.</p><p>In this sequel to his much-loved book <em>The Grocer's Boy</em>, Robert discusses the trials and tribulations of being a traditional grocer at the dawn of the supermarket age, before moving on to new challenges later in the decade which included an eventful tenure in the fast-moving domain of college education and a step further afield into the busy corporate world.</p><p>Recounting his loving family ties and enduring friendships, marriage and parenthood, nostalgic reminiscence and thoughtful reflection, <em>The Grocer's Boy Rides Again</em> takes a fresh look at this most iconic of decades, considering a country which was in a period of rapid transition but where a helpful attitude and good customer service remained of paramount importance.</p>
