40 YEAR AWARDS
Ray Bux and Barry Austin
Bro Ray Bux (Br 405), now retired, and Bro Barry Austin who
works at Hovis, Wigan (Br 417) were presented with their 40 year
badges and free cards at the Regional Council meeting in April by
Geoff Atkinson, Region 4 Regional Organising Secretary.
Bro Ray Bux started to work in the baking industry at
Derbyshire’s bakery on Caunce Street, Blackpool in 1972/73. This
was eventually taken over by Warburtons and he transferred to the
Brinwell Road site in 1984 where he worked on the mixing floor
until his retirement in 2001. He enjoyed his time at Warburtons and
still misses the camaraderie from his time in the industry.
Member Bro Barry Austin started work at the Hovis, Wigan
site in 1973 as a van lad. He left to work in the building trade for a
time, only to return to the bakery where he still works on the mixing
floor of the bread plant
Sis C Wellington (Branch 450), who was unable to attend the
Regional Council, also achieved 40 year membership.

the 4 April 2014 Pauline McCarthy had the pleasure of presenting

Janet started work at Lyons Wakefield but after 2 years she
moved to Lyons Carlton in Barnsley. Janet loves working at Carlton
and has had a lot of happy years there. She has a lot to say for
herself – as anyone who knows will agree! She has a few more
years to do at Carlton and we all would like to wish Janet the best.
