Colin Brookes Radio & TV Servicing

  Whilst employed by Autocrat I also started my part time business at evenings and week-ends of 'Colin Brookes Radio & TV Servicing'. Although I continued to use the workshop at my wife's parents house up until the time I moved to Ponsonby I stopped advertising their home address in Hillsborough Rd after only a few weeks due to concerns of people calling there. I took a P.O.Box in the Mt Roskill post office which was close by. The old bakery in Ponsonby was behind the Easy Vision shop and didn't have it's own address, and our workshop in Queen St, Onehunga, was also above a shop and didn't have it's own address. So my P.O.Box 27-009 was used not only whilst operating on my own but throughout my whole connection with 'La Wood Television' and 'La Wood Television Ltd', including it's time of registration listing.
