A SERVICE station employee has been honoured for 25 years of service.
Heidi Harwood began her career with Roadchef at just 16, starting work at Strensham North straight from school.
Roadchef has praised her long-standing commitment, describing her as a reliable team member who has made a positive impact across the business.
Tim Gittins, CEO of Roadchef, said: “Reaching 25 years of service is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of Heidi’s dedication and commitment.
“She has made a positive impact on every team she has been part of through her reliability, experience and willingness to support others.
“Heidi represents the kind of hardworking and dependable people who are at the heart of Roadchef, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed over the years.”
During her time with the company, Ms Harwood has been recognised for her loyalty, professionalism and steady approach.
She has built extensive operational knowledge and forged lasting friendships during her quarter-century at Roadchef.
A spokesperson for the company said: “When Ms Harwood first joined in the early 2000s, it was a period of significant change across the UK, with new cultural trends emerging, landmark attractions such as the London Eye opening, and everyday life steadily moving towards a more digital age.
“Strensham North was also evolving during this time, but throughout all the changes, Heidi’s commitment, consistency and dedication have remained constant.”
Roadchef said her long service is a testament to its focus on supporting long-term careers.
The company has recently achieved Platinum accreditation in both the We Invest in People and We Invest in Wellbeing frameworks through Investors in People.
