Staff complete over 50 years voluntary service with fire service

Employees at Burns Pet Nutrition don’t just produce dog food, they also take time to put something back into their local community.

The company – which has its headquarters in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire – has five members of staff who have notched up 57 years of service between them working on a voluntary basis for the Mid and West Wales Fire Service.

Maintenance manager Peter Morris; Mike Fitzpatrick who works in the warehouse; graphic designer Spencer Chilvers; and mechanics Wayne and Chris Eldred answer 999 calls both during the day and evenings helping to put out fires across the region.

Commenting on his staff members John Burns said: “We are extremely proud of our staff members who are not only enthusiastic employees but are also extremely brave members of the local fire service. Fire fighters put their lives at risk every day and play such a vital part in protecting us all.”
