Honouring long service and dedication

We recently recognised and honoured employees who have dedicated 10 or 20 years of their career to the company.

The long service awards handover took place in Carlisle, where employees from different departments gathered to celebrate their achievements and commitment to the company

The 10-year service awards were presented to four employees, while another four employees received the prestigious 20-year service award. The awardees met with Graham Jenkins, our managing director and he handed out vouchers as a token of the company’s gratitude.

Later Graham met with Alan Farish who is a driver and missed the original group together. Alan is celebrating 10 years’ service.

We also celebrated ten and twenty years’ service respectively with Jamie Woodman, who works night shift in our warehouse and Mark Phinn who is a driver.
