MUCH BUYING
NE of the directors recently appointed to organise next year’s British Industries Fair, no longer Government sponsored, is a Mr. C. Kenneth Horne, sales director of Triplex Glass Ltd. He is better known as the genial, urbane, but slightly preoccupied senior member of the Much Binding radio team, and to televiewers as chairman of the parlour game, Down You Go. For him, life has been "Up you go." The son of a Congregationalist minister, he went into the glass firm on leaving
BBC Cambridge in 1928. His first job at £4 a week was as progress clerk following jobs through each stage of production. As an officer on a barrage balloon site, Kenneth Horne took part in the wartime radio show, Ack-Ack Beer-Beer, with his college friend and fellow amateur actor, Dickie Murdoch. Now he sells glass from nine till six, and writes and rehearses at nights and at weekends. He will now find time to help to plan much buying at the B.I.F. and how to persuade the world’s buyers to take it from
here.
