As the mill expanded so did the staff, from 17 in 1962 to around 50 in 1982. Noel Jarrett was the manager until 1978, after which he was the Production Manager in the Nelson office. The foreman, Cyril Riddle, then became the key man and he transferred to the newly opened modern and partly computerised Eves Valley Mill when Brookside closed. Charlie Benseman was the yardman, Trevor Barton operated the treatment plant and Syd Smith was the foreman in charge of Posts and Poles.
