About Pimento Connection

Why we are what we say we are

This company takes pride in placing the right people in the right place at the right time and is named in honour of Lt Col Tony Brooks DSO, MC, Legion d'Honneur, Croix de Guerre, who shortly after the outbreak of WW 2 found himself in the unenviable position of being both too young to serve in the British Army and living behind German lines.

A determined man, Tony was to prove his worth to the allied cause by first assisting in the escape of British soldiers cut off behind enemy lines before escaping himself and returning to England. His early days in occupied France were to be invaluable for his future career. A fluent French speaker Tony went on to join and operate as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and, whilst still aged barely 20 was twice parachuted into France to form and command a group of resistance fighters code named PIMENTO.

Despite being badly hurt during his second parachute jump into enemy occupied France, Tony and Pimento were to prove a highly effective team. A full account of Tony's extraordinary war  including his capture, interrogation and his role in hindering the Das Riech SS Panzer Division as they attempted to deploy to  the Normandy beachhead during Operation Overlord can be found in the book PIMENTO by Mark Seaman.

Following the war Tony joined the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) with whom he served all over the world and on a number of operations.  When we told Tony of our intention to name our company in his honour he was delighted.  Tony died on April 19th 2007, he truly was the Right man in the Right place at the Right time.
