Five team members of Southern Sheeting, who have collectively been with the company for 40 years, have been rewarded for their hard work and dedication in the company’s Long Service Awards.
Sales manager Dan Hill has been with the company for 15 years and has received £2,000 and two days of extra holiday, while yard supervisor Gary Brehme, who has been with the company for 10 years, went home with £1,000 and two additional days of holiday.
Further long service awards for five years went to contracts manager Garry Osborne, delivery driver Lee Syratt and yard operative Craig Vatcher, who all received £500 and an extra day of holiday.
Dan said: “I’ve always felt valued working here and I know everyone else feels the same. That feeling of being valued flows from the top down, from our managing director Tony, who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone knows their contribution matters. The Long Service Awards are just one of the ways Southern Sheeting shows that it cares.”
Gary added: “I’ve been yard supervisor at Southern Sheeting for 10 years now and I love my job. The customers are great and there’s a fantastic vibe at the business.
“It’s friendly and still feels like a family run business even though it’s grown so much since I joined. There’s a real sense of camaraderie here.”
Tony Hobbs, managing director at Southern Sheeting, said: “Celebrating our long service awards gives everyone so much joy and we take a lot of pride in making our team feel valued for the contribution they make to the business.
“Our team has already expanded by 40% to meet the growing demands of our trade and domestic customers as the construction and home improvement markets boom. But we never want to lose the family-run and friendly atmosphere that makes Southern Sheeting special.”
