A family is appealing for information following the death of a loved one from an asbestos-related cancer.
Anthony Greenwood died in September 2025, aged 81, after being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure.
His family, supported by specialist asbestos solicitors at Hugh James, is seeking to trace former colleagues who might have information about his working conditions.
Mr Greenwood worked for several companies across Greater Manchester and Derbyshire between 1958 and 2008, including Oldham Caravans on Equitable Street in Oldham.
Other employers included Mayfair Caravans Ltd in Manchester, Boden Trailers Ltd and Crane Fruehauf Trailers Ltd in Royton, and Lynton Caravan Manufacturing Co Ltd in Gorton.
He also worked at Glossop Caravans and Lynton Commercial Units in Glossop.
Mr Greenwood spent most of his career building and repairing caravans and commercial trailers, roles that could have exposed him to asbestos-containing materials.
The family hopes that former colleagues or anyone familiar with asbestos use at these sites will come forward to help with the investigation.
Emma Newman, an asbestos claims lawyer and senior associate at Hugh James, said: "We are hoping to help Mr Greenwood’s family by locating others who worked at these companies.

"If you worked with Mr Greenwood at any point, or have knowledge of asbestos use at these companies, we would be very grateful to hear from you.
"Even small details could prove crucial in understanding how he was exposed and in holding those responsible to account."
Anyone with information, no matter how small, is asked to contact Susan Dawson on 0161 850 9783 or email Susan.Dawson@hughjames.com to support the family’s case.
