Congratulations to Robin on receiving his 15 Year Service Award!
Some people are truly made for the steelwork industry — and Robin is certainly one of them.

Robin began his career as a Template Maker back in the late 1970s and has dedicated his entire working life to the steelwork industry, primarily within the Drawing Office environment.

Anyone who has worked with Robin will know how conscientious, reliable, and dedicated he is. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering quality work have always been second to none.

Away from work, Robin previously spent much of his time road cycling and mountain biking, although these days that has slowed somewhat. When the weather is on his side, you’ll most likely find him out on his motorbike instead. He’s also a keen fan of clay pigeon shooting and cars. For many of us who have known him over the years, with his distinctive moustache, he’ll forever be recognised as the handsome “Nigel Mansell look-alike”!

Thank you, Robin, for your hard work, loyalty, and contribution over the past 15 years. Your dedication is greatly appreciated by everyone who has had the pleasure of working alongside you.

Today we’re proud to recognise Stanimir (Stan) for his outstanding service and contribution since joining FHD in 2016.
Stan started his journey with us as a General Machine Operator and, over the years, has demonstrated remarkable versatility, reliability, and a strong work ethic across a wide range of key roles.
In more recent times, Stan has become an essential member of our fabrication support team, settling into the operation of the Voortman V320 machine. In this role, he consistently delivers high-quality components that are essential to keeping our fabrication processes running smoothly and efficiently.
Beyond his technical skills, Stan is known for his positive attitude, willingness to help others, and dependable approach to his work—qualities that make a real difference on the shop floor.
Outside of work, Stan enjoys spending time with his family, travelling to experience different cultures (and good food!), keeping fit at the gym, and getting plenty of walking in.
Thank you, Stan, for your dedication, professionalism, and continued contribution to FHD. We truly appreciate everything you do.
