Celebrating 45 years of Service

Leading roofing manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has just presented two of its hardworking employees who have a combined service of 45 years with Long Service Awards.

With sites in Lochmaben, Scotland and Burton-on-Trent, Russells’ Long Service Awards are designed to honour the loyalty of employees who have worked at the company for over 10 years, celebrating the hard work and commitment of those at the firm who have seen the business grow over many years. Ian Jones (Works Manager) and Paul Cooney (Production Chargehand) who are both based at the firm’s Lochmaben site have been awarded the accolades for their work at Russells for 25 and 20 years respectively.

Russells is committed to recognising and rewarding its staff to help maintain skills in the construction industry. The roof tile manufacturer has also run a bursary programme to help encourage youngsters.

Ian and Paul were presented with specially designed tile shaped awards by Russells’ Production Director, Bruce Laidlaw. In addition to their awards, both employees will receive long service benefits including additional days of annual leave and a cash bonus. Bruce commented “We launched the Long Service Awards in 2016 as we wanted to commend the dedication of the employees who have stayed with our company for a significant period of time. Some of our employees had been working with us for more than 40 years and we wanted to celebrate their successes and achievements.”

The Russell Roof Tiles Long Service Awards are presented to employees after 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years. Bruce continued: “Last year we celebrated 50 years of Russell Roof Tiles and it’s great that we have employees who have been with us for half of that time.

“We have 10 employees who will receive a Long Service Award at both of our sites in the next year and we look forward to presenting them to our committed workforce.”
