Two members of the team at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford have been rewarded this month after notching up 80 years of service between them.

After joining the business at age 16, tractor driver Russel Crump has this year, marked half a century of service with the company and has received a Gold Medal for his time.

While crop protection supervisor, Paul Luntley, was awarded a Bronze Medal for his 30 years’ of service.

Wyevale Nurseries’ chairman, Heather Williamson, says: “I’d like to congratulate Russell and Paul on their momentous milestones but also to thank them for their steadfast support, hard work and dedication to us, their work mates and our customers across all those years.”

Several of the team members from Wyevale Nurseries who also received awards for long service in previous years celebrated with the pair at the recent presentation too.

The awards were presented at the Three Counties Show in Malvern on 14 June by the Three Counties Agricultural Society, which issues medals to those who have completed continuous service to horticulture or agriculture with the same employer or holding company.
