Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
David Paley has been celebrating his silver anniversary with Travis Perkins Hire, having joined the company in 2001.
Paley started at the Durham branch where he was the first branch hire manager in the North East; in 2020, he became branch hire manager at the Burnopfield branch.
He said: “I cannot believe I have clocked up 25 years with Travis Perkins. It feels like it was only yesterday when I walked through the door for the first time in the Durham branch. I have been working in the hire industry for more than 40 years and I have absolutely loved my time with the business. It is a great company to work for.
“Travis Perkins has continued to evolve with things like ‘Pay-As-You-Go’ hire coming in and the rollout of that over the last few months has been excellent. It has really helped take our offering to a new level.”
To mark his 25th anniversary with the business, Paley received a selection of vouchers from Travis Perkins and his milestone was celebrated in branch with his colleagues.
David Bell, Branch Manager at Travis Perkins Burnopfield, said: “It is great for everyone in the branch to be able to celebrate and acknowledge David on this incredible milestone. He works so hard on a day-to-day basis managing the hire aspect of the branch and he is a great team member. To complete 25 years with the business is an exceptional achievement and we are all very proud of him.”
