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
30th 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 60th 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.
