Quartet celebrates more than a century of service at Macadams

By We Love Creative

A long-serving, loyal workforce is one of the driving forces in the success of a North West based professional recovery service.

With 154 staff working across six depots in Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire, Macadams’ growth and success over the past 50 years has been built on the ethos of employing a team of staff who work to the highest standards.

51-year-old David Magill from Fence joined Macadams in 1982 as an apprentice panel beater and has seen his career progress over the past 35 years to his current position of body shop director.

David isn’t alone in his long service with the company, with paint shop manager Christopher Mills, from Colne, accruing 30 years’ service with the company.  Parts manager Nick Peacock, from Colne, and incident manager Martin Wild, from Keighley, have both worked at Macadams for 20 years.

“We are passionate about the training of our staff, from apprenticeships through to ongoing industry specific qualifications, which means they are always highly skilled and well equipped to carry out their roles with us. Our staff know that there are excellent progression opportunities available to them if they choose to stay at Macadams and David, Christopher, Nick and Martin are the perfect examples of what hard work and loyalty can achieve. “We’d like to congratulate them, and our other long-serving employees, on their valued service over the years.”
