After the dust has settled at the Derby based, Trader Group of Newspapers, fast forward one year since the controversial take-over of the company.
A mysterious millionairess, Mrs Alison Hanley, quit her powered job in the fashion industry in America to come to the East Midlands to save the Trader Group from bankruptcy- and she well and truly put the cat amongst the pigeons amongst the Midlands' regional newspaper hierarchy, by staging an international fashion show in Leicester.
A mysterious millionairess, Mrs Alison Hanley, quit her powered job in the fashion industry in America to come to the East Midlands to save the Trader Group from bankruptcy- and she well and truly put the cat amongst the pigeons amongst the Midlands' regional newspaper hierarchy, by staging an international fashion show in Leicester.
She didn't use models but actual staff at the Trader Group, such as the 'Ad girls' and the' Print lads'- to much acclaim from the world's leading fashion designers and the world's Press.
With the launch of a monthly fashion magazine as well as the rapid expansion of the Trader Group, with the opening of six more Trader offices in the West Midlands and the East of England, it's time for another fashion show. This time in Paris, the centre of high fashion and the fashion industry itself. The year is 1981. In the UK, it's all floppy men's hair-cuts, New wave music, a new Government, more money in people's pockets and the era of new technology. But for one group of middle-aged men, time continues to stand still. They are the' Derby 9.' The much- liked printers at the Heanor factory of the Trader Group who put all the weekly editions together. They are their own 'firm.' All huge Derby County fans and they have been at the Trader Group since Day 1 back in the mid 1960s. Now, they're swopping their overalls for 'snazzy suits' and jackets and ties as they are about to tread the catwalk- in front of the biggest names in world fashion- this time in Paris along with 300 or so Ad girls.
So- get set for more fun, mischief and mayhem from the lads from Derby! The Derby 9. Alright youth!
