Farewell, Ray!
We’re celebrating the remarkable journey of Ray, a cherished member of the Walford Timber team, now entering retirement. Embarking on nearly 50 years of unwavering dedication, Ray began his path in 1974 as a labourer and evolved into a highly skilled machine operator. His legacy is a testament to his commitment, having worked for three generations of the Smith family. As Ray steps into a well-deserved retirement, we honour the culmination of his extraordinary half-century of service with us. His impact has made a unmistakable mark on our company’s history.
In a heartfelt farewell, we were delighted to recognise Ray’s immense contributions with a special presentation and gifts at our recent Christmas party, conveying our deep appreciation for his hard work, loyalty, and skill. His departure will be felt by everyone in the company.
Thank you Ray, your legacy at Walford Timber will forever be cherished.
