Sir David Fletcher Jones

I caught a documentary on Fletcher Jones this afternoon. Fantastic piece on the birth and growth of Fletcher Jones from Hawker to national manufacturing brand. The docco ended with a great quote I wanted to capture.
A passerby saw three men cutting stone at a building site. “What is it you’re doing?” he said to the first. “Can’t you see, I’m cutting stone.” he replied. “I’m working for the basic wage.” said the second. And the third man, with shiny eyes answered, “I’m helping to build a Cathedral.”
Well we’ve been blessed with more than our fair share of Cathedral builders in what otherwise could have been a pretty mundane sort of business.
Brilliant!
