Champion Hire - Tony Dow Celebrates 25 years!

12th December 2012

The Directors of Sheffield-based Plant & Tool Hire Specialists Champion Hire Ltd, congratulated Long-Serving Employee Tony Dow (44) on the occasion of him achieving 25 years loyal service with the company.

Tony (44) started at Champion Hire's Sheffield North Depot in 1987 as a Driver before becoming a Hire Desk Clerk then Depot Manager at the Bradford Depot in 1991.  He later returned to Sheffield and for the last few years has been a Senior Hire Co-ordinator, responsible for looking after Customers' Plant & Tool requirements. "I've done all sorts of jobs here" said Tony, "I can't believe how the years have just flown by,  Champion is very much like a big family and there are a good few of us who have been here for a long time". Chairman Tim Hale commented; "Tony is one of many staff who have been with us for years - we couldn't provide the kind of excellent customer service that we do without guys like him". Financial Director Jim Raybould added; "The last few years have been really difficult for the construction sector and to be able to pull through we have relied a lot on our Depot Teams.  Tony is a great example, illustrating our positive 'family company' ethos".
