It looks like Lister Petter is moving out of Dursley after nearly 150 years in the town.

A move to Tewkesbury is on the cards... their present building on the Littlecombe site isn't fit for purpose. Here's a selection of comments from Friday's Breakfast Show about the manufacturing company's impact across the world.

Les from Stonehouse worked for Listers for almost 50 years... he said there is not a country in the world where you would not find a Lister engine... says they are the most collected engines anywhere.

Alec in Gloucester said during the " Boxer Rebellion" his uncle found a Lister diesel engine in a Chinese town ...helping to pump in the water supply
