Tom Bane, Internal Sales Proposal Engineer, was bemused to turn up to work to find that his desk had been decorated in celebration of his 30^th birthday. Photos of Tom in his much younger years had also been distributed around the factory and offices, much to the amusement of work colleagues. A photo-shopped۝ version of Tom۪s current spiky hairstyle edited onto a photo of Tom age about 4 was a particular source of hilarity!

He left work nervously to be whisked away to celebrate on a mystery weekend break with his girlfriend.

Peter Guttridge, unfortunately clocking in at double Tom۪s years, was delighted and touched to be presented with a gift and card to celebrate his 60^th birthday. Peter, Chairman of Guttridge, is very popular amongst Guttridge staff, who signed the card and gathered to see Noz Talukdar, Managing Director, present Peter with a spotting scope. Peter and his wife have very recently moved into a house that they designed and built with amazing views over the Cambridgeshire countryside. He had been considering buying a telescope to observe the wildlife and the changes in seasons across the landscape, so he was delighted with the gift. He will now be taking a well-deserved two week holiday to finish unpacking and get settled into their new home.

In addition, another 6 people out of the 105 staff employed by Guttridge, have turned, or will be turning, 30 in 2015, some from the same school.
