A total of just 12 employees at leading pump manufacturer Landia UK have notched up a combined 200 years of service.
Leading the way in the same year that Landia celebrates 75 years since inventing 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.
Working diligently behind the scenes as a devoted Senior Mechanical Engineer, Dave Baldock has served the Shropshire-based business for 27 years, while highly respected Technical Projects Manager Paul Broadhurst has reached the milestone of 25 years.
Vastly experienced Key Account Manager Paul Davies has now been with Landia UK for 23 years, closely followed by stalwart Senior Technical Engineer Tony Challinor, who boasts 19 years of service.
The effervescent Howard Burton, Technical Sales Engineer, has been part of the Landia team for 13 years, and meticulous Service and Aftersales Manager Tamas Rieder has marked a decade with the company.
Senior Mechanical Engineers Kieran Hilton and Jack Foster have amassed 24 years of service between them, while Technical Sales Engineer Josh Edge has recorded 11 years. Kieran, Jack and Josh all began their careers as apprentices through Landia’s proven training programme.
Dave Thomas, Service & After Sales Administrator, and recently appointed Office Manager Sam Smith have each been with 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.”
She added:
“From the dedicated organisation at our Whitchurch office to keep everything together and moving forward to the hard work of our sales and service engineers out on the road we are extremely proud of this 200-year landmark.”
