Project
Summary
A research project initiated
by the Pye Foundation Trust
has been running since October
2013 to research and document
the detailed history of the
Pye Group of companies with a
view to the creation of a
permanent museum exhibition in
Cambridge which celebrates the
industrial and scientific
history and achievements of
Pye.
The Pye foundation has
provided £10,000 of initial
funding to enable the
collection of oral histories
of former Pye Group
employees. To date 36
former Pye group employees
have been interviewed and
their working experiences
recorded.
Initial discussions on this
project started in July 2013
and since that time work has
progressed to publicise the
project locally, interview
former Pye Group employees to
collect their experiences of
working in Pye companies, and
conduct detailed research into
the company organisation and
history, both in the UK and
overseas.
