ACTOM divisions that held long-service awards presentations at the end of 2022 included LH Marthinusen (LHM) and Distribution Transformers.
LHM’s Divisional CEO David Sullivan, wearing attention-getting festive season gear, including a star-spangled hat, presented awards to seven employees, including three who had completed 25 years of service, among them Kevin Knipe, LHM’s Financial Executive, who – also colourfully attired for the occasion – is shown in the picture on the left, receiving his award from David.
The others presented with 25 years’ awards were Bongani Mabizela, Buyer, and Kevin Kruger, Fleet Maintenance Manager. The other four, who received awards for 20 years’ service, were Jonathan Steyn, Key Accounts Manager, Zunaid Miskin, Commercial Manager, Fans Division, Chris Naude, Small Rotating Machines Manager, and Elias Mokwana, Transport Manager.
The longest serving Distribution Transformers employee among the total of 35 who were presented with long-service awards by Divisional CEO Alan Buchholtz late last year was Craig Burgess, Local Commercial Manager for Distribution Transformers, with 25 years’ service.
A total of 28 employees in the division were presented with awards for 15 years’ service, while six received awards for 10 years’ service.
Two further recipients of awards for 25 years’ service were the Group’s previous IT Manager Paul Coppin and Group IT Administrator Frans Coomans.
Paul himself presented Frans with his award in early-December last year, but the presentation of Paul’s own long service award was delayed until the end of January this year when he was treated to a farewell lunch to mark his resignation and emigration to the UK, with Group Financial Director Annamarie van Wyngaardt presenting him with his 25 years’ service award, as shown in the picture to the left.
