Craggs Energy Group recently celebrated an incredible milestone – 15 years of group service for Tank Services Manager Simon Turner.
Simon began his journey at another Craggs Energy Group company, Moorland Fuels, before joining the TankTopper team earlier this year, where they say “his positivity, enthusiasm, and trademark smile brighten every day in the office”.
Announcing the impressive anniversary, the company commented: “Throughout his time with the business, Simon has been instrumental in the growth of Moorland Fuels, and in more recent years, Craggs Energy and TankTopper too. He has seen firsthand, the group’s growth and evolution into the success it is today, and takes great pride in seeing the whole team share in that success since becoming an Employee Ownership Trust in 2022.
“Over the past 15 years, Simon has built strong connections and lasting friendships, often describing the company as his “second family.” His willingness to help out wherever needed, along with his genuine commitment to supporting others, has made a lasting impact across the organisation.”
Proudly celebrating his milestone, the group toasted Simon for his continued hard work, positivity, and passion saying: “Here’s to the next 15 years!” Congratulations Simon!
