Everybody likes to be thanked and today our photos highlight long-serving employees who have received awards over the years. Twenty years ago, Cumbria Chief Constable Colin Philips was awarding certificates of commendation for outstanding police work or duty requiring great courage and bravery, as well-long service and good-conduct medals at Carleton Hall, Penrith. The chairman of Pirelli UK Lord Marshal of Knightsbridge came to Carlisle in 2005 to attend the long-service awards at the Pirelli tyre factory. And an unusual presentation was made to husband-and-wife team Geoff and Liz Simpson who had completed 35 years service at Workington’s Junior School in 2006.
