Williams Refrigeration celebrates longest serving staff members

Written by: Edward Waddell
Williams Refrigeration, the manufacturer based in King’s Lynn, honoured some of the company’s longest serving employees with awards and a celebratory lunch that took place in August.

All ten members of staff have been with the company for at least two decades and between them they have racked up an impressive 210 years of service. Williams is one of the leading manufacturers of commercial refrigeration for the foodservice, bakery, medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Tim Smith, managing director of Williams Refrigeration, commented:  “We have a wonderful record of long serving staff. Each year we honour the ones who make these milestones, and each year I’m humbled by their commitment and loyalty. I’m proud of the whole team we have here, every single one contributes to our success.” 

Purchasing manager Robert Smith has been with the company for 30 years and he puts its down to a range of factors such as being trusted to make vital decisions, how Williams is always moving and the fact that he never gets bored. The other nine award winners have served 20 years and include:

  • Darren Hall, technician, King’s Lynn
