Sandra Rogers was Peter Ingram's young secretary at Ingram's Textiles. After Peter's death, Sandra clashed with new general manager Mike Baldwin, causing him to sack her. Sandra had been Peter's PA since 1987, and helped him build the company up. She was extremely loyal to him, not least because they embarked on an affair in early 1989 which they managed to keep secret until after his death. Her history with Mike Baldwin was less amiable; they first met when a post-Baldwin's Casuals Mike visited his friend in the trade to ask him if there was any work he could take off his hands. Wound up by being forced to wait hours to see Peter, Mike was further irritated by Sandra's stiffness and, as he went off towards Peter's office, coldly advised the secretary not to go in for any charm contests.
