16 June 2010

With a combined 77 years clocked at the trade counter Greg and Jean Booth are some of the longest serving employees on record. On Wednesday 30th June the couple retired from PTS Walsall to complete lifelong ambitions and enjoy even more time in each other’s company.

Branch Manager Greg and Sales Co-ordinator Jean, who've been married for 35 years, celebrated their retirement from PTS Walsall with staff and customers at a farewell dinner before jetting off on a dream cruise to Alaska.

Greg joined the company that would eventually become PTS 44 years ago and has seen it grow into a national company of over 300 branches. He said: "PTS has always made me feel important. I've always been treated as an individual and never a number. I will hold my experiences and memories of PTS close to my heart."

Greg and Jean are looking forward to a relaxing retirement together and plan to spend their time visiting new places, enjoying life with their three year old grandchild and keeping fit by swimming and ballroom dancing. Both are also keen coin collectors and plan to research their family tree together.

PTS Regional Managing Director John Vaughan, added: "Greg and Jean have worked for PTS almost all their married life and are both well loved members of the team. We want to thank them for all their years of hard work. We will miss them dearly and wish them the best of luck for their retirement."
