The company has sustained a
healthy relationship with it's
workforce and an example of
the longevity of staff comes
from the Hexham branch
where the staff have an
average of 18.1 years service,
and the latest recruits two
apprentices have clocked up
a year each.
The past year has seen
awards for 25 years service
and fifty years service, a
lifetime of experience and
accumulative knowledge
which will have more than
strengthened Rickerby's
reputation in the market
place.
One of the 25 year recipients
David Common joined
the Hexham branch from
school as an office clerk,
before he was promoted to
Horticultural Golf Product
Specialist in the North East.
David supplies products to
golf courses as far North as
Berwick to Cleveland in the
South. Presently Rickerby's
are anticipating a record
year of sales of Ezgo golf
cars with David processing
120 sales for the Spring of
this year.
Another North East veteran
is Philip Stead , again
joining Rickerby Limited
from school as a junior
storeman. In 1973 Philip was
promoted to Horticultural
Parts Manager, supplying
parts to local authorities,
golf courses, contractors
and trade customers from
Scotland in the North to
Yorkshire/Lancashire in
the South. In 2008 Philip
celebrated his 40 years with
the company.
