The directors of Keltruck wish to acknowledge the outstanding customer service provided by Kim Swift over the last 25 years & congratulate him on his length of service working at Keltruck.

Chris Kelly, who will be making a special presentation to Kim to mark the anniversary, commented: "We are fortunate to have a number of long serving members of staff within the company including Mike Kelly, Pam Young, Micky Perrott & Kim Swift. All those years of service really count with the development of outstanding customer relationships, friendships & camaraderie along with unrivalled product & company knowledge. I congratulate Kim on his achievement which is a rare feat in the today's business environment. Ordinarily I would wish Kim all the best for the next 25 years at Keltruck but something tells me that, much as he enjoys working here, he might just have retired by 2033!"
