Farewell to Neil Baker – Our 44-Year Apprentice
Yesterday was a day of mixed feelings, we bid farewell to Neil Baker and wished him all the best for his retirement.
Halifax Fan globally has many employees dedicated to the design and manufacture of industrial fans.
Although there are many varied skills in this pursuit, Halifax recognises the dedication of all of these personnel and likes to think of them as FAN:gineers. The application, design and building of high quality industrial fans is a highly specialised and extremely technical undertaking. The term FAN:gineer recognises our their special skills collectively under the proud banner of the Halifax family.
Yesterday was a day of mixed feelings, we bid farewell to Neil Baker and wished him all the best for his retirement.
Former CEO of General Motors Corporation , Alfred P. Sloan said: “you can take all my assets but if you just leave my organization with me, I can make back all my lost assets in five years.” Clearly his experience is that a company’s people are its most valuable asset.
Today Halifax Fan celebrated the retirement of Michael Rothwell. Skilled sheet-metal worker Mick, affectionately known as ‘Rozzer’, has been a key part of our fabrication team for 28 years.
For the past four years at our Halifax Fan headquarters in Brighouse, we have been investing in our future UK manufacturing base by employing engineering apprentices.
