3rd Annual Veterans Lunch

3RD ANNUAL VETERANS LUNCH FRIDAY 20TH OCTOBER 2023

Last Friday, we celebrated our 3rd Annual Veterans lunch for all employees across the AF Switchgear business who have achieved 25 years or more continuous service.

This year saw an additional 4 employees who received their 25-year award. This is a huge testament to the family-owned company, one of which we are immensely proud of, and we thank you all for your continued commitment to AF Switchgear.

Overall, we celebrated a huge 648 combined years of service from just 22 employees, averaging 29.5 years each. 

Despite Storm Babet making the journey impossible for a few of our employees, those that were able to attend enjoyed an afternoon of celebrations.
