A man suffering from the asbestos related cancer, mesothelioma, has reportedly issued a plea to his former work colleagues.
David Greenwood worked for 44 years with Ellison Circlips Limited at their sites in Keighley, Harden, and Bingley.
It is reported that Mr Greenwood claims that when he worked for the company, which also had a number of previous other names, he was exposed to asbestos dust. He is not asking his former work colleagues to come forward to give more information about the working conditions present at the time.

It is also important to remember that asbestos is still present in some old buildings, and should only be disturbed by specialists”.
