After an amazing 38 years, we recently said a heartfelt farewell to Chris Newell as he embarks on his well-earned retirement! Chris joined Wicksteed on the 12th of May 1986 as Steel Stores Charge Hand in our factory. Over the years, his dedication and expertise saw him rise to roles such as Quality Control Inspector, Production Supervisor, and eventually into the field as a Playground Maintenance Engineer. Since 2003, Chris has been our trusted Playground Inspector, traveling up and down the country to ensure our play spaces remain safe, fun, and enjoyed by generations. Chris, your hard work, loyalty, and passion have left an incredible mark on Wicksteed and countless communities across the UK. Thank you for 38 wonderful years – we wish you all the very best in your retirement!
