Celebrating 25 years continued service with Bruce & Walker, Tricia is surrounded by flowers and champagne for the day. Tricia joined the company as a school leaver, starting at the very bottom and learning a variety of skills and craftsmenship. She is now Head of the Finishing Section, in charge of Quality Control, and is often found helping out in the office too! We’re looking forward to the next 25 years.

After more than 20 years with the company, Gertie Miller retires from the Finishing Section. Gertie has been a very steady hand on the tiller over the years and she is sorely missed. Retirement allows her more time in the garden, but always industrious, a very welcome basket of fruit and vegetables appears from her from time to time. Photos shows what a real family affair Bruce & Walker is: Gertie with her daughter, Tricia, and Tricia’s sister in law, Jenny, all of whom work together in the Finishing Section.

As well as flowers and accolades for Gertie, she also received a beautiful crystal decanter, engraved and obtained from our premier stockist, Mortimers of Grantown-on-Spey.
