Gardiner Haskins have celebrated another impressive work anniversary as assistant manager Steve Williams reached his 20 year work anniversary on Friday.

Steve started working at Gardiner Haskins on his 16th birthday and has been there ever since, working his way up to assistant manager.

Steve says of his time at Gardiner Haskins: “When I started as a nervous 16 year old, the idea was to earn some pennies, pass my driving test and decide what I want to do.

"Well, 20 years later I’m still here, been promoted a few times and still enjoying the job.

"The staff atmosphere at Gardiner Haskins is fantastic and as a lot of us have been here for years, we are a close team.”

Retail director, Steve Whitcombe, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate incredible milestones like this.

"Steve is an integral part of the team here and we’re incredibly proud of his achievement.

"Just a couple of weeks ago we had Heather’s 40 year anniversary so it’s great for us to be able to take the time to celebrate our wonderfully loyal and hard working team.

"The store has been really busy since we opened last month so it’s good for the team to take some time and acknowledge our successes and eat some cake too!”
