Most recently, Steve Smith, has just retired from his role at Gibbs & Dandy having spent almost five decades with the company.
Joining as a 17-year-old in 1972, Mr Smith kickstarted his long career alongside his father and grandfather, working in the Luton branch’s tool department, with all three going on to register 40-plus years of service.
On reaching their quarter-century milestones, each family member received a gold watch from senior management, with Steve Smith being awarded his accolade by both John Dandys, direct descendants of the original founders William and Percy Dandy.
Employee longevity is nothing new to Gibbs & Dandy, with the number of employees achieving over 25 years of service with the business set to reach 80 by the end of this year.
