A collaborative discussion regarding an investigation on asbestos exposure.
The family of Peter Jones, a former public servant who died from mesothelioma, is seeking witnesses to his potential asbestos exposure. Lawyers are appealing for information to aid their investigation. Jones, who worked at Fisons Limited and the Ministry of Agriculture, is believed to have encountered asbestos during his career. The family hopes former colleagues can provide valuable insights to support their case against exposure-related illnesses.
Peter Jones, a former scientific officer from Woodridge, has tragically passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a family seeking answers regarding his untimely death linked to asbestos exposure. Just weeks prior to his death in 2024, Jones was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a devastating cancer most often associated with asbestos. His family, alongside specialist asbestos lawyers, is appealing for anyone with knowledge about his potential exposure to come forward, as they embark on a legal investigation to uncover the truth.
Jones enjoyed a lengthy career, starting with his role at Fisons Limited in the horticultural chemicals division located at Chesterford Park, Little Chesterford, where he worked between 1960 and 1969. After his time at Fisons Limited, he continued his public service at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) in Harpenden, dedicating himself to the role until early retirement in 1993. It was during this period that the family suspects he might have been exposed to harmful asbestos.
Legal director Phoebe Osborne from Hugh James has come across a significant 2003 Hansard report which suggests that the former Plant Pathology Laboratory at Hatching Green Drive in Harpenden, a place where Jones worked, was known to contain asbestos. This revelation has prompted the family to specifically focus on gathering information regarding any asbestos exposure that may have occurred at MAFF, as they believe it could be instrumental in understanding the impact on Mr. Jones’s health.
The Jones family is urging former colleagues and associates to come forward with any information that may assist in their investigation. They believe that every little piece of information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could be crucial for piecing together the timeline of asbestos exposure and ultimately supporting their legal case. They are particularly interested in speaking to anyone who worked alongside Peter Jones at either Fisons Limited or MAFF.
In retirement, Peter Jones enjoyed a vibrant life in Woodbridge, where he found joy in sailing and actively supported the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). His hobbies extended to various interests and artistic pursuits, reflecting a rich and fulfilling post-career life. The loss of a beloved father and grandfather is a heavy burden, and his family remains determined to seek justice on his behalf.
Anyone who may hold valuable information regarding Peter Jones’s potential asbestos exposure is encouraged to reach out. For inquiries, witnesses can contact Phoebe Osborne at Hugh James through the following:
The Jones family appreciates any help from individuals who might assist in shedding light on this critical matter. As they navigate this challenging time, they remain hopeful that the community will rally together to support their quest for answers regarding the circumstances surrounding Peter Jones’s exposure to asbestos.
