A record number of employees at the Nether Heage-based Litchfield Group of Companies – parent company of Sheerframe Systems company LB Plastics Ltd – received gold watches for their long service at a recent presentation.

In total, 19 workers at the Derbyshire firm celebrated 25 years with the company, achieving between them a total of over 475 years’ joint service. To mark the occasion, Group Chairman Leon Litchfield presented each with a gold watch at a champagne reception at the group’s Nether Heage headquarters.

The Litchfield Group of Companies has a remarkable record of long serving employees, with over 160 receiving gold watches for 25 years’ service, since the business started in 1922. All of those receiving watches this year live within a 10-mile radius of the company’s headquarters.

The firm now operates worldwide, providing high-performance products and components primarily to the building industry. Product ranges include Sheerframe window and door systems, Sheerline decking and fencing and Hometrim cladding, soffits and fascias.

Mr. Litchfield thanked his colleagues for their service over the years. He said, ‘We continue to expand our international business, but the cornerstone of our success is our Derbyshire base, and the loyal workforce which continues to serve us so well. To remain successful, the Litchfield Group has had to constantly adapt to changes and stay ahead of its competitors worldwide. The commitment and flexible approach of our workforce plays a major part in that success.’
