Today marks the end of an incredible chapter as Ray officially retires after 37 years with us.
Over nearly four decades, Ray has been far more than a skilled joiner. He has helped shape the workshop, the team, and the generations of craftsmen who have come through our doors. His knowledge, patience, and willingness to share his experience have left a lasting mark on the business in ways that will continue long into the future.
Many of the team working in the workshop today have learned from Ray over the years, benefiting from the standards, skills, and work ethic he brought to every project. His legacy can be seen not only in the countless pieces of joinery he has produced, but also in the people he has helped develop along the way.
A fantastic joiner, a valued colleague, and a real asset to the team, Ray will be greatly missed around the workshop.
While today marks his retirement, we have a feeling this won’t be a final goodbye, and we hope he’ll still pop in from time to time.
From everyone at Sturrocks, thank you for 37 years of dedication, craftsmanship, and friendship.
We wish Ray a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement!
