A total of just 12 employees at leading pump manufacturer, Landia UK, have completed a combined service record of 200 years.
Leading the way in the year that Landia celebrates 75 years since it invented the world’s first Chopper Pump, is Liz Robinson, operations executive, who was there on day one of Landia UK with the late and fondly remembered Hugh Vaughan.
Behind the scenes as a truly dedicated senior mechanical engineer, Dave Baldock has been at the Shropshire-based business for 27 years, whilst highly renowned technical projects manager, Paul Broadhurst has clocked up a quarter of a century.
Vastly experienced key account manager, Paul Davies has now been with Landia UK for 23 years, closely followed by stalwart Tony Challinor, senior technical engineer, with 19 years’ service.
The effervescent Howard Burton (technical sales engineer) has recorded 13 years at Landia, and the meticulous Tamas Rieder (service and aftersales manager) has been with Landia UK for a decade.
Senior mechanical engineers Kieran Hilton and Jack Foster have clocked up 24 years’ service between them, whilst Josh Edge, technical sales engineer, has recorded 11 years. Kieran, Jack and Josh all began as apprentices through Landia’s proven training programme.
Dave Thomas (service and after sales administrator) and recently appointed office manager, Sam Smith have both served Landia UK for nine years.
Liz Robinson, Landia UK’s operations executive, commented: “Two hundred years of service from such a small number of people speaks volumes for Landia UK. We are all for encouraging new talent to join us, and with Josh Edge, Jack Foster and Kieran Hilton now with us for well over 10 years each since joining as apprentices, shows the solid, rewarding career path we can offer.”
