News May 2006

We have lots of reasons to be celebrating in April so I’ll have to cut it short to keep it to a page. Its not the first time I’ve been told to say less!

In Colin Hutton Group land, we were celebrating at the weekend with two of our best loved employees as they reached their 25 year anniversary with the Company. If you have ever had any mobile repairs done, you will know Hugh Goldie and John McCullagh and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything but praise from Customers about them. As they visit your premises to carry out all manner of repairs to trailers and vehicles (often emergency repairs to keep you on the road and more often, in the cruel Scottish weather) they have become our most valued ambassadors for the Company. We weren’t sure exactly what dates they started as they didn’t have paper in those days and certainly not employment contracts! In his speech at the weekend, old CJ recalled their interviews where he picked Hugh “not because of his skills but because I liked him” and John gave the impression that he wasn’t desperate for the job by admitting “my time keeping is poor”! He never got any better at interviewing! Both men (and their long suffering wives) deserve maximum praise for showing such staying power through rough and smooth and many peaks and troughs and it is a rare occasion now-a- days to be rewarding staff for such loyalty. Many, many thanks from all the Hutton family and our staff for their contribution to the Company which we hope will continue for many years to come.

Now, if that hasn’t raised a lump in your throat, wait for it…………my darling, eccentric brother David and his (also, long suffering wife) Kate announced the arrival of their beautiful, baby boy on the 13th April. It was a bizarre few days waiting for news and my mobile rang more than once in our daily production meeting as the Managers all held their breath! Like father, like son, the kid already wears a bandana and pirates booties (obviously not matching) and has yet to be named. If I tell you that David is insistant on Huckleberry, it becomes clear why Kate hasn’t yet registered him! Thank you to everyone who passed on good wishes to the proud parents and first time grandparents.

This month’s request is for trailer work and particularly mobile work to make sure Hughie and John stay fit and healthy in years to come. Let us know if we can quote for your work.

Enjoy the May sun but remember me old Gran’s favourite saying “Don’t shed a cloot til May’s oot”)

Regards
