I remember swinging by their facility fairly often in Helmel Hempstead in
the mid '80s to have lunch with Gordon and Wally Rubin, generally on a
Friday - fish on the menu.....Gordon was the epitomy of a true Gentleman.
That family are good people, he will be missed.

Fellow Techies
It is my sad duty to advise you all that Gordon Arbib sadly passed away on
9th April 2010 after a long illness.
Many of you will have known Gordon from his Multicore Solders ownership
days.
In 1965, he obtained a First Class Honours Degree in Electrical Engineering
at Kings College, London and then M.I.E.E. He spent over 35 years in various
positions with Multicore Solders Ltd developing, manufacturing and selling
materials for electronics assembly world-wide. This included being Chairman
and CEO from 1974 to 2000. The group had manufacturing and sales
subsidiaries in Germany, USA, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, China
and Taiwan. Gordon was also a director of the parent company, Kelsey
Industries Plc from 1974 and CEO from 1990 to 2000. His other appointments
include being a director of Herts Training & Enterprise Council from 1991 to
1995, non-executive director of Henkel Ltd from 2000 to 2002 and various
other small companies since 2000.
I got to know Gordon late in his career at Multicore but knew him as a man
of the utmost integrity and a true Gentleman of the World.
My heart goes out to the members of his family. Our industry has lost
another truly father figure.
