It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Lilian Hibbert.
Lilian joined the company in 1977, when we moved to our current premises in Reddish, and remained a valued member of the team until her retirement in 2014.
During her 37 years with us, Lilian took on a variety of roles. She began in sales, processing orders and following up enquiries, where her friendly manner, patience, and attention to detail made her well regarded by customers. She later moved into purchasing raw materials and packaging, ensuring essential supplies were always in place to keep production running smoothly. Her knowledge and experience meant her opinion was often sought when developing new products and colours.
Lilian was a quiet and modest person who never sought recognition, always putting the needs of customers and colleagues first. She played an important part in shaping the company and contributing to the reputation we are proud of today.
Our thoughts are with Susan, Graham, and the wider family at this sad time.
