JOLLY MAKES IT 5!

BGB Innovation employee, David Johnson, has become the fifth member of staff to reach 25 years of service. David, affectionately know as "Jolly" by his colleagues, joined BGB at 16 years old on a government assisted scheme back in July 1983.

Jolly is a key member of the Blue team and one of the most experienced in the company when it comes to the moulders and press machines.

Jolly joined the company back in 1983 (he did have hair back then!). His accomplishments include being Blue team leader for half a year, learning and self teaching everything he knows and unbelievably only having had 6 days off sick in 25 years!

BGB Managing Director - David Holt Snr said, "David has shown absolute loyalty throughout his 25 years, he is a Key man and always goes the extra mile, a real grafter. He's always one of the last people to leave and his attendance record speaks for itself. A fantastic employee."

Dave has been rewarded for long service with a PC, Ipod dock / DAB radio & Sony digital camera alongside a heartfelt applause and congratulatory ceremony from all his colleagues at BGB.

BGB would like to thank Jolly on his achievement and are proud to have him as a valued employee at BGB.
