Staff from John Laing plc eating lunch during a staff outing, Paignton, Devon

Laing were a company who wanted to build a ‘family’ ethos; they often organised day trips and lunches for their workers and then photographed these outings. The days out stopped during the Second World War and then restarted in 1947. Details of these outings were recorded in the company's newsletter 'Team Spirit'.
