Bob Dickie, who worked at the John Brown shipyard and was one of the founding members and former chairman of the Clydebank Asbestos Group, passed away last year. A local retailer has now been inspired by his life.
A Glasgow shipyard worker who spent 25 years campaigning for asbestos victims has inspired a new clothing range, including a shirt that will raise funds for the cause.
The shirt features Dickie’s initials and serves as a homage to his efforts in raising awareness of the deadly impact of the “killer dust” on shipyard workers.

“We got to know the Clydebank Asbestos Group as some of the members are regulars in our shop. We’re proud to have created a shirt that pays tribute to one of their founding members, and a legend of Clyde shipbuilding past in Bob Dickie, and raising money and awareness for an important cause.” His son-in-law Jamie Clark, currently a volunteer with the group, recalled the pivotal role Dickie played in both his personal and professional life in a short documentary created by Finnieston to accompany the launch.
