THE branch manager at Keyline in Swindon has been recognised for completing 30 years of service at the business.

Jason Southern began working in the yard before progressing to the trade counter and subsequently the sales department.

He then moved on to become civils account manager and has been branch manager for the past 10 years.

Jason was recently presented with a bottle of champagne, as well as the company’s long service pin and certificate by regional director Adam Franklin.

He will also receive vouchers for the company’s internal employee rewards scheme, which can be used online to purchase items from a choice of over 1,000 different outlets.

Jason said: “I am really proud to be an employee of Keyline and can honestly say I have enjoyed every moment of the last 30 years with the company. It has been such a pleasure working alongside so many great people, many of whom have become lifelong friends and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”
