The event celebrated 25 employees who have all reached milestones with the company beginning at 10 years’ service, with the longest serving member of the team clocking up an impressive 45 years’ service.

The event was a double celebration for the company as it is marking its 90th Anniversary this year. Now a fourth generation family business – a feat achieved by only 3 per cent of family run organisations in the UK.

The awards covered every area of the business from construction and manufacturing to sales and board members.

Ed Monaghan, chief executive of Mactaggart & Mickel Group, who was also recognised on the day for his 35 years’ service with the company, said: “The event was a great celebration of the entire team’s hard work. There is a real family atmosphere at Mactaggart & Mickel Group and I believe part of this is due to the loyalty and hard work demonstrated by our entire workforce.

“Events like our Long Service Awards are very important as they enable us to recognise and reward our employees who have shown so many years’ dedicated service to the company and played a role in the company’s success over the years.”

The Long Service Awards were part of a wider celebration of the company’s 90th Anniversary which included the annual Excellence Awards where staff members are rewarded for outstanding performance over the past 12 months.
