Another long-service award as Mick racks up 25 years

I’Anson has awarded another member of staff with a 25-year award for long service, as Mick Fryatt celebrated reaching the milestone last month.

Hailing from an HGV driving background, Mick joins a long list of employees to hit the 25-year milestone with I’Anson.

Mick joined the business in 1997, where he started on the packing lines in the mill before working his way through to running the Micronizing production.

Since then, he has worked in a number of roles within the business, including returning to his driving roots to deliver feed, before moving to the transport department where he has spent the past 18 years and now has sole charge of scheduling all daily raw material deliveries.

Sarah Richardson, managing director of I’Anson Brothers, and chairman, Chris I’Anson, presented Mick with the traditional Britannia gold coin to mark his long service.

On his time at I’Anson, Mick Fryatt said: “I am extremely proud to reach this milestone with the business, which has supported me throughout the past 25 years.

“Over this time, I have learned a huge amount and been fortunate enough to work in a variety of roles, having the freedom and control to make decisions about my own personal career. It is this loyalty and commitment to its people – despite the impressive and ambitious growth of the business – that continues to make I’Anson such a valuable place to work.”

Sarah Richardson added: “Without Mick, I’Anson simply wouldn’t be able to operate, so we are immensely appreciative of his work and commitment to the business over the past quarter of a century.

“It is a source of real pride that we are able to present these long service awards on such a regular basis and is testament to the attitude of all of our employees and the culture we have been able to build throughout the history of the business. The personnel within the organisation allow us to deliver the very best products and services to customers and will always be the bedrock of I’Anson.”
