Ann Alcock
Ann Alcock has responsibility for the office work and smooth running of the non horological side of J A Alcock & Son.
Ann also uses her extensive educational experience to plan the exhibitions for the open studio events to ensure that they are concise and engaging to a wide audience.
Dill
Dill was taken on as the apprentice, however his only strength seems to be as an early warning system to alert other members of staff to the arrival of visitors. (Don't worry he is friendly)
