A further 12 Quantel staff members have clocked up 20 years’ service with the company, and six more have passed the 30 year milestone.

To mark their anniversaries, staff with 20 years’ service were presented with carriage clocks, and 30-year staff with cheques and letters of gratitude at a special ceremony at Quantel’s Newbury headquarters. Presenting the awards, Quantel chief executive Ray Cross said: “Ultimately business is all about people and at Quantel we’ve got great people. The long service awards are one way of recognising and celebrating their dedication and passion.” Quantel currently employs around 250 people, and the average length of service for all Quantel employees now stands at over 12 years.
