Len Tilbury's retirement celebrationBuilding Supervisor retires after 15 years service

Len Tilbury started with mhs commercial services as a Foreman Plumber when the company was initiated in 1992 having previously worked as a Plumber and Fitter for Ulsdean Kitchens, Rochester.

He worked his way up the company to become Building Supervisor, helping to run "Menu Improvements," the choice based improvements scheme for mhs homes and spent the last three years refurbishing kitchens and bathrooms with the mhs, "Homes to be Proud of" scheme. This was an initiative set up by mhs homes, building on the Government’s Decent Homes standard, providing an even wider range of improvements to residents.

Len was joined by 100 current and former colleagues at his retirement party held at mhs homes’ head office, Broadside, in Chatham Maritime.

Len said, "I’ve enjoyed my time here and have made some good friends. I’m still going to be kept busy because my son has a kitchen lined up for me to fit but I am looking forward to getting the chance to use my fishing rod which was a gift from all my colleagues."

Chris Hall, Contracts Manager for mhs commercial services said, "Len brought a lot of experience to the team, having previously worked as a tradesman. We will all miss that as well as his good sense of humour."
