It's the end of an era!
After nearly 23 years with Chepstow, our much-loved colleague, Russell Cook is retiring - and we're celebrating the incredible impact he's had.
Russell joined us back in 1998 as a workshop foreman at our Swansea depot. Since then, he's grown with the business, taking on roles as a fixed site engineer and mobile engineer, working right across South Wales and the West. His dedication, expertise and can-do attitude have been instrumental in our success over the years.
What makes Russell's story even more special is his long partnership with our Managing Director John Corcoran – working together for over 40 years, first in other roles and then together at Chepstow.
As Russell heads into retirement, he's excited to spend quality time with his wife Deidre (who recently retired herself!), enjoy time with his grandchildren, and work on restoring a classic Ford Es**rt with his son.
Russell, you've been a true pillar of our team. Thank you for 23 years of hard work, dedication and friendship.
Enjoy every moment of your well-deserved retirement! 🎉
