Williams employees achieve over 250 years of service

Written by: Edward Waddell
King’s Lynn-based Williams Refrigeration has recognised their long-serving employees who together celebrated a combined 270 years of service between them.

This year saw 11 employees from the business reach significant milestones of 20, 30 and 40 years of service. To celebrate the occasion Williams Refrigeration hosted a hog roast lunch and gifts awards.

Celebrating two decades at the business Andy Ward, area sales manager, commented: “Over the 20 years there have been a fair few changes, including a change of ownership, however when I look around the sales team as well as at all the departments at King’s Lynn and group companies, there are a lot of people that have been with us longer than I have so in some ways I still feel like a newcomer!

“I have enjoyed my time working for Williams, who are in my opinion the best company within our industry, and hope to continue well into the future.”

The business employs over 200 people across the UK and its latest milestone is testament to both the company and employees.

Williams Refrigeration offers a comprehensive range of commercial refrigeration including gastronorm cabinets and counters, specialist bakery equipment, coldrooms, merchandisers and blast chillers. 

Tim Smith, managing director of Williams Refrigeration, added: “Williams Refrigeration is renowned for its long-serving employees. We think it says something that we have so many employees who stay with us for most, if not all, of their working life.

“It is a pleasure to celebrate the continued long service commitment and loyalty of Williams colleagues. Congratulations to all on their fantastic achievements.”

Williams Refrigeration gave a special mention for John Leggett who passed away last month. He would have also celebrated 20 years at Williams and the company offers its sincere condolences to his family and friends.
