Gerry Pulford was delighted to reach his 40 year landmark after starting work in June 1975 at what was then 600 Services straight after his ‘A’ levels as a junior project engineer. He eventually worked extensively in the Middle East and North Africa, becoming the sales manager for 600 Machinery International selling Colchester and Harrison lathes into these territories and in the Indian subcontinent.
Ian Chilver received a watch in recognition of his 25 years service with Gamet Bearings, starting in July 1990 as a CNC setter operator, but quickly progressing to quality and production engineering roles before becoming Gamet’s production manager in 2007.
