We take great pride in being a family-owned firm and celebrate every member of our incredible ‘family’. So it was with great pleasure that we surprised our Production and Procurement Manager Mark Scarrott with an award to celebrate an amazing milestone – his 40th work anniversary at Arthur Price.
Mark worked for a heavy engineering firm before joining Arthur Price in 1984 as an assistant in the Production Department. He quickly rose up through the ranks and has been responsible for the deliver of everything from million piece orders to royal commissions for over two decades.
Mark from Burntwood said, “It’s flown by, it really has, and I am very thankful that I enjoy my work. I like my colleagues and every day is different, you just never know what you need to make. We don’t just manufacture cutlery, we also have many commissions for special tableware from across the globe. My highlights reel include travelling to the Middle East to oversee various special commissions for royal families in the region. And who knows what’s around the next corner?”
Simon Price, CEO said, “Mark is a vital part of our business, liked by colleagues and respected by customers with vast experience and expertise. He is, in my opinion, the best in the business.
“As a family-owned business, the next generation is vital to our success. Mark has seen my father’s time, my time and now James’. As times have changed his skill and knowledge have too developed which to me shows an amazing aptitude and ability. I am privileged to have him as part of my team.”
James Price, Sales Director said, “Mark is the longest serving member of the Arthur Price team but we also have more than ten others celebrating over 30 years of service. Everyone in this special group has made an amazing contribution to the success of the business. On a personal note I have been fortunate to learn from all these people and I hope that we have many more long-standing colleagues for generations to come.”
