» CELEBRATIONS HAVE been taking place at Kenrick as two members of the team celebrate a whopping 50 years ’ service each . Nash Singh Ranue and Davinder Kaur both joined the West Bromwich-based hardware supplier in 1971 at the tender ages of just 16 .
Product development engineer Nash began his career with Kenrick as an apprentice , but his engineering talent was soon spotted and he moved into product development . Nash , who develops and tests Kenrick ’ s protypes and finished products , also spends a lot of time working alongside customers , helping them to understand and trial new products . Nash has been behind the development some of Kenrick ’ s bestknown flagship products , including the Excalibur window lock . Excalibur is now one of Kenrick ’ s best sellers , with the firm now selling around 500,000 sets of the shootbolts a year .
He says : “ I ’ ve never worked
anywhere else except Kenrick , but I don ’ t see that as a bad thing at all – it ’ s hard to believe I have been here for half a century ! I ’ ve really enjoyed spending my working life at Kenrick and having the opportunity to be part of a team that develops industry-leading products . I couldn ’ t imagine working anywhere else .”
Assembly operative Davinder has worked in many different departments on the shop floor , including machining , assembly and packing . Many members of Davinder ’ s family have also worked at Kenrick , including her husband , brother and sister-in-law . Davinder is part of Kenrick ’ s 16-strong operative team and literally , millions of Kenrick castors and hardware products have passed through her hands during her five decades at Kenrick . She says : “ Kenrick is like a second home to me and I have been very happy here for the last 50 years . There is a genuine family feel about the business and everyone is really supportive of each other – it almost doesn ’ t feel like I ’ m coming to work .”
