We want to wish our embroidery manager, Irene Leake, all the best as she looks to retire this Friday. Irene is one of our longest-serving members of staff, if not the longest having started at Price & Buckland over 30 years ago.
Having joined the company as an embroiderer in May 1981, when it was based in Cross Street, Arnold, and ran by Geoffrey Buckland, Irene remembers Ant and Nick coming into the office as young boys, and Ant often referred to her Aunty Irene!
Within two weeks of starting at Price & Buckland Irene was promoted to supervisor and since then has played a key role in driving the business forward. In her 30 years, Irene has witnessed considerable business changes, including the site relocation to Hucknall, the arrival of Ant and Nick, and the shift from serving clubs and corporate accounts to focusing on the schoolwear market.
In her retirement years, Irene plans to spend much more time with her family and grandchildren, and she may even go travelling around the world.
Irene will be sorely missed and we want to thank Irene for all her dedicated years to the company. Good luck Irene!
