Mick Pay from Honeybourne recently celebrated his 30 years service award with his colleagues on the Farncombe Estate. Mick started as a Group 4 employee back in the days when the Estate was the International Headquarters for the company and continued his service on when Group 4 left the area 8 years ago.
“During the 30 continual years, Mick has painted everywhere several times and been a key part of the maintenance team that look after all our buildings” explained the Group Personnel Manager, Richard Sutton. On behalf of the Chairman, Richard presented Mick with a commemorative tie pin and a personal letter from Mr J Philip-Sorensen CBE.
During the presentation some interesting facts emerged about Mick’s career to date….according to his colleagues calculations, Mick has used 6,000 gallons of paint and paste as follows:
3000 gallons of magnolia
1500 gallons of white
800 gallons of undercoat
800 gallons of gloss
100 gallons on wallpaper paste
Plus 60 wallop brushes
Apparently 6000 gallons of paint equates to painting 1 football pitch every year for 30 years !
