  • Prices at the pumps in the Jet petrol station, Europe's first completely unleaded forecourt in London in 2001.

We are looking up at them from the ground floor as they wait for the lift to bring them down the building’s atrium. This is in the months before the company’s subsequent collapse with the loss of 22,000 people worldwide. Enron Corporation was an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. Before its bankruptcy in 2001, Enron was one of the world's leading electricity, natural gas, pulp and paper, and communications companies, with claimed revenues of nearly $101 billion in 2000. Oblivious to their employer’s troubles, the two men seem relaxed in this workplace which allowed them to work in casually dress, rather than in formal suits, an apparent hallmark of the company’s lax work ethic.
