Painter Dennis Lowe, 54, who is battling terminal Mesothelioma, needs to find the insurers of two long-gone town centre companies he worked for to secure a financial future for his blind and disabled son Jonathan and daughter Katy.

Both building maintenance firms went out of business decades ago.
Dennis, a church warden at Appley Bridge All Saints, was diagnosed with the aggressive form of lung cancer in August.
He has already had radiotherapy treatment at The Christie and started chemotherapy at Wythenshaw hospital this week.

Now North West based specialist industrial injury lawyer Dominic Hemsi is appealing for any fellow ex workers who have any details of the former companies to contact him.

Mr Lowe worked at J G Lee and Co in Gower Street, Wigan from 1969 up until 1975, going on to work at W G Lloyd Decorators, in Sandbrook Road, Orrell, from 1975 until 1980.

Mr Hemsi, of Manchester-based McCool Patterson Hemsi who specialise in fighting for asbestosis victims said: "They were both large firms of painters and decorators.
"Mr Lowe was exposed as a teenager to asbestos while working for these companies and this has eventually led to his development of this dreadful terminal cancer.

"If I can find the insurers for these companies Mr Lowe's claim will succeed and his family and dependants will be compensated financially for his condition and Mr Lowe himself will be compensated himself if I manage to find the insurers during his lifetime."

Dennis, who is also a Boys Brigade volunteer, is the official carer for his 19-year-old son along with his wife Stella.
He is grateful for the help he is getting from the Greater Manchester Asbestosis Victims Support Group, but said: "I have had to retire because of the illness and its important to me that I can provide for
my family in the time to come.
