A 'family' business

Not only is Glendinning a family business in the sense that it remains owned by one family and family members still work for the firm, it also has an enviable track record in providing employment for generations of the same local family.

One such family is that of Vehicle Maintenance Manager, Tony Harvey.

Tony has worked for the company since 1973. His brothers Mike Harvey and David Harvey have also been working for the firm for over 25 years each. His brother-in-law, Nick Atwill is an HGV driver and Safed Trainer. Nephew Shaun works in the quarry as a plant operator and the latest recruit Tom Atwill is an Apprentice.

Tony puts his family's long service record down to the fact that the Glendinning family members themselves were very involved in the firm and "would never ask you to do something they weren't prepared to do themselves". He went on to say that his family "can't speak highly enough" of the company - which is probably why they have all stayed for so many years.
