Nearly 100 former Atkins employees and friends attended the Reunion party at Atkins Building on Saturday 28th September as part of the Fully Fashioned Memories project.

Workers from all departments and years came together to reminisce and celebrate this unique part of Hinckley's social and industrial heritage. The reunion featured the Fully Fashioned Memories exhibition which has over 200 "vintage" photographs and various factory items lent by members of the Atkins community. The party also had showings of two films made by local film makers Stuart Watson and David J Wood on Atkins and Hinckley nostalgia and tours of the building so former colleagues could see how the Building is used now.

The photos from the party can be found on the Atkins Building Facebook page
