DACHSER celebrates long-service milestone for Rochdale employee

Rochdale – 9 March 2020  :  Staff at Dachser Rochdale were very happy to celebrate a significant milestone recently when one of its longest standing employees, Les Holdsworth, received a Certificate acknowledging 35 years’ service as an HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) driver.  Since joining J.A. Leach Transport Limited, Rochdale, in 1985, Les has worked as a transport driver, continuing his service with Dachser UK, after it purchased Leach in April 2010. 

In addition during his many years of loyal service Les achieved a remarkable feat by never taking a single day’s sick leave, an accomplishment acknowledged by Gary Atkinson, Branch Manager at Dachser’s new premises on Kingsway Business Park, Rochdale.

Presenting Les with his certificate, Gary said, “We know that our employees are the company’s greatest assets, and we are delighted to honour Les’ dedicated service and extraordinary commitment. It is with pride and admiration that we congratulate him on this service anniversary milestone.”
