🎉 Celebrating 40 Years of Dedication – Congratulations, Andy Open!

A huge congratulations to our Estates & Property Manager, Andy Open, who recently celebrated an incredible 40 years with John Wainwright & Co Ltd.

During our recent business update, our CEO, Tom Longland, took the opportunity to recognise Andy's outstanding contribution to the business with a special presentation. Andy was presented with a scale replica of the Euclid dump truck he drove when he first joined Wainwright at Moons Hill Quarry in the 1980s - a meaningful reminder of where his journey with us began.

After successfully avoiding an earlier surprise celebration, this time Andy was genuinely caught off guard!

Reflecting on the occasion, Andy said:

"This is a lovely memento of 40 years with Wainwright. I shall treasure it, along with my many happy memories. And yes – it was a complete surprise!"

Reaching 40 years of service is an exceptional achievement, and Andy's commitment, knowledge and dedication have made a lasting impact across the business.

Congratulations once again, Andy, and thank you for four decades of loyal service. We look forward to sharing more about your remarkable career with Wainwright very soon.
