Today we say farewell to Billy Ramshaw as he retires, following 3 years as a driver at our Billingham branch. 🚛

During his time with us, Billy has been a fantastic member of the team, always giving his best and being a great person to have around the branch. His hard work, friendly nature and commitment have been greatly appreciated by colleagues and customers alike.

Although Billy is stepping back from his regular role, we're delighted that he's decided to stick around and continue helping us out from time to time!

From everyone at James Burrell, thank you for all your hard work, Billy. We wish you a very happy and well-deserved retirement.

After 7 fantastic years as a driver at our Ossett branch, it’s time for Harry Tew to put his feet up and enjoy a well-earned retirement! 👏

Harry has been a much-loved member of the team and has always been brilliant at his job, reliable, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with. Over the years, he’s built great relationships with both colleagues and customers, and his hard work and good nature will certainly be missed around the branch.

From everyone at James Burrell, thank you for everything, Harry. Good luck and enjoy your well-deserved retirement! 🚛
