TERRY Heddon, a crane service technician with lifting
equipment manufacturer Konecranes, has been presented
with a 50-year long service award.
In recognition of his achievement in attaining such a
career milestone, and as part of Konecranes’ long service
award scheme, Mr Heddon was presented with a watch,
framed certificate and personalised letter from Konecranes
president and CEO Pekka Lundmark.
Based at the company’s centralised service district facility
in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, UK, Mr Heddon
helps support on-going national service contracts. Having
started his career in the early 1960s, serving his time as a
fitter/machinist, he has spent almost his entire working life
working with cranes and lifting equipment.
Presenting Mr Heddon with his award, district manager
Mark Goringe said, “Not only is Terry a much liked and
larger than life figure amongst our team here in the South
West, he is widely respected by all who know him and who
have had the pleasure of working with him at Konecranes.
His knowledge relating to cranes and lifting equipment,
particularly of a mechanical nature, is second to none. This
is matched by his extensive experience, not to mention his
infectious enthusiasm in rectifying and resolving problems
for customers as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
