TNT celebrates six of the best

20-Oct-2005

The year was 1980 - the SAS stormed the Iranian Embassy in London, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan sparked a mass boycott of the Moscow Olympics, the world lost John Lennon to an assassin's bullet and millions of television viewers wondered who shot JR Ewing in the popular US soap opera, Dallas.

But the start of the 1980s was equally memorable for half-a-dozen Mid-Glamorgan employees of express delivery giant TNT as it marked the beginning of a 25-year career journey.

Pontyclun-based drivers Steven Bradshaw, Clive Parsons, Stephen Perkins, Howard Pledge Clive Skyrme and Noel Wilson have just clocked up a combined 150 years of service with the country's leading business-to-business express delivery experts and received due recognition from the company at a Long Service Awards ceremony.

The six men all work at the TNT Express Services Depot in Coedcae Lane, Talbot Green, in Pontyclun. Each one received an engraved gold watch, a £100 cheque, a bottle of champagne and a gold pen from TNT UK Chairman, Bill Hanley, and TNT Express Services Managing Director Tom Bell at a special presentation lunch.

Reflecting on their sterling service and the company's ability to retain top calibre people in the fast moving express delivery sector, Tom said: "Thank you for your efforts and for everything you have done to make this wonderful company what it is today. I wish you every success in the future."
