Retirements:
Two long-term staff have announced their retirement and will hopefully be enjoying some well-earned rest after many years of service.
Angela Williams, who joined the business in 1999 working in the office with accounts and administration support, is retiring this month. Angela has seen the business grow and prosper during her employment and has been a key member of the team. Angela’s knowledge of the business, which led to her being promoted to Office Manager, will be missed but we hope she enjoys her well-deserved rest.
Colin Merrifield, a driver based in Poole, has been with the business since 2005 also retires this month. Colin is a popular member of the transport team. We wish Colin all the best in his retirement.
We would like to thank both Angela and Colin for their many years of service, loyalty and support in everything they have done for DB Foods. With best wishes for the future!
