Sales controller celebrates 25 years working for FJ Chalke

A sales controller at a Nissan dealership in Somerset is celebrating 25 years working in the business.

Dan Cook has worked at F J Chalke, Wincanton, since 1998, when he started his career there as a valeter.

To mark his quarter of a century of service, Dan was presented with a certificate by the managing director of F J Chalke, Steve Fowler, who himself completed 25 years with the company last year.

The company, which operates a sister Nissan dealership in Yeovil, has a reputation for impressive levels of staff retention and rewards loyal colleagues with regular bonuses. Earlier this year, the firm divided the sum of £165,000 between its employees.

Fowler said: ‘‘Colleagues such as Dan are invauable to our business and the relationships they forge with customers over the years are the bedrock on which our success depends. We have many team members who have been with us a long time and we’re grateful for their loyalty.

‘‘I’d like to congratulate Dan on his 25 years with the company and wish him all the very best for the future.’’
