Eight staff with 224 years of loyal service between them were given a grand gesture by their firm.
They’ve each been allowed to spend up to £1,000 on a special gift to mark their time with South Coast chartered accountants and business advisers Princecroft Willis (PcW).
The longest serving team member, office administrator/company registrar Carol Cook, has clocked up 34 years with the business.
She is closely followed by Allister Giddings, assistant accounts team manager, with 33 years’ service.
The other staff members honoured are Gaynor Fisher, tax manager (28 years), Julie Boulton, accounts semi-senior (27 years), Sean Hodgson, tax senior, and Andy Boettger, assistant accounts team manager (both 26 years) and Sarah King, audit and accounts manager, and Sandy Vickery, secretary (both 25 years).
Presenting them with long service certificates, Mark Johns, Managing Partner, paid tribute to their “fantastic dedication, loyalty and commitment.”
He added: “It has been a real pleasure recognising the amazing contribution our ‘Magnificent Eight’ have shown to PcW.
“Stability is central to our success but I hope they have had some fun along the way, as well.”
Princecroft Willis has offices in Poole, Dorset, and New Milton, Hampshire, and offers a full range of accounting services from audit to taxation.
Locally based, independent and with strong community roots, the firm has ten partners and more than 100 team members.
