Northern Ireland’s largest independently owned motor retailer, Donnelly Group, has honoured the 17 staff members who have been part of the company for 30 years or more.
These long-serving employees were recently invited to a celebratory breakfast, with each being presented with an engraved crystal vase in appreciation of their dedication towards the company’s success.
This included Peter Shaw who is employed at Donnelly Group’s Ballymena location.
Having recently awarded 243 staff for their long service with additional annual leave, the breakfast event served as further recognition of the invaluable contributions made by the team members who have played an instrumental role in the company for over three decades.
Dave Sheeran, Managing Director at Donnelly Group, said:
“Many of our long serving employees joined us as apprentices, and their long service provides further testament to the many opportunities for long-term, fulfilling careers offered by our apprenticeship programme.
“Several of those in attendance at our celebratory breakfast have worked at Donnelly Group for over 45 years, highlighting our sustained efforts to cultivate a team of highly proficient and reliable experts that feel appreciated for their work.
“From site directors to managers, administrators, technicians, parts and accounts personnel, there were a wide range of employees who joined us to celebrate the hard work and dedication that has been integral to our success.”
Those at the breakfast hailed from the company’s Dungannon, Ballymena, and Enniskillen branches.
“We are proud to recognise the efforts of those who have been part of the Donnelly family for a long time now, and hope that these tokens of our gratitude go some way in showing our appreciation for their loyalty.”
In addition to extra annual leave for long service, Donnelly Group offers its employees competitive salaries, an industry-leading work-life balance, and continuous training opportunities across its nine branches in Northern Ireland.
