have marked an incredible 100years of service
between them. Sharon Nixon, Steve West,
Denise Lough, Phil Orr and Ian Farrow are all
celebrating 20 years at Hurst.
Last year, 17 members of staff marked 20
years with the business, with many having
formerly worked for panel manufacturer PDL
before Hurst took over in December 1996.
The latest 20-year milestone means that 23
people have chalked up more than 500 years
of service between them.
Mark Atkinson, Sales Director at Hurst
Plastics, said: “It’s fantastic to end our 20th
year on a high and celebrate the dedication of
five more long-serving members of staff.”
Finance Manager Sharon Nixon joined PDL
in 1996 and has been with Hurst Plastics since
it was formed. Sharon trained to become a
Chartered Accountant while at Hurst Plastics
and is one of seven in the finance department.
Panel Production Manager Steve West has
also been with Hurst since its formation.
Steve’s career has been dedicated to door
panels for more than 20 years, during which
time Hurst has manufactured nearly three
million of them.
