Bridge of Weir Leatherworks (AllStaff),. Bridge of Weir
(March 2014 to Current)
I started in the cutting department of Bridge of Weir Leather were I began by auditing which was
checking the leather for any scars, contamination etc. I then went on to working the tables were we
would lay knifes onto the leather and put it through a large presser which would cut the required
shapes, after some time on the tables I was moved onto marking which was checking the hides for
any faults and marking them with chalk to make it easier for the people on the tables, the white chalk
showed the areas to be avoided. The work in the cutting department then dried up and I was paid off;
now I am currently working in a different department named Baltic 2, In here I am on the finish line
where I feed hides through a large machine whilst cleaning them which stains the hides with pigment
to meet the required colour.
