A film made by Richgaard Media.

In 1889, The Burroughs Wellcome site was officially opened in Dartford. Over the next century, hard work and Henry Wellcome's vision transformed the facility to a worldwide centre of excellence. At its peak, Wellcome employed thousands of people in the area and effectively put Dartford on the map.

By 2000, it became GlaxoSmithKline. The past 39 years Steve has worked alongside thousands of others at the GSK Dartford site, and today on 31st October 2012 he is the last employee to close the gates on this once great pharmaceutical site.

The memories will live on.
