We’re delighted to celebrate David Cairns, Assistant Buyer, on his 10-year anniversary with us.

David began his journey in our warehouse before making a successful career move into the Purchasing team six years ago. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength and continues to thrive in his role.

He plays a key part in maintaining accurate stock levels across our branches and is always focused on ensuring clear, efficient processes for staff, suppliers, and customers alike.

For those who know David, his sense of humour and knack for brightening the day are just part of what makes him such a great colleague.

Thank you, David, for your hard work and dedication over the past decade and congratulations on this milestone!
