I found this advert in the 'Lewisham Borough News' dated 12th September 1961: “RECORD DEPARTMENT MANAGERESS and experienced assistant required for interesting Record Department at Harrison Gibson Ltd., Bromley, Kent. Apply Manager. (RAV 9991).
... and this advert in the same edition: “JUNIOR required for record department. Progressive employment for girl interested in music.—Apply E. L. Whitehead, Harrison Gibson Ltd., Bromley, Kent. (RAV 9991).”
