Martin Tonkin was recently awarded by his company Newsome Tools for clocking up 27 years of service as a Midlands area representative.

Mr Tonkin originally visited Newsome Tools as a supplier representative before being offered a position to develop what was then a newly created area. Mr Tonkin built this up over the years, with many of his original customers still doing business with him today.

Newsome Tools managing director Martin Newsome said, “Newsome Tools customers value our commitment and loyalty to them and this can only be delivered if we have a committed and loyal team to provide that service.

“Martin’s award exemplifies a growing number of our team who chose to spend their working life at our company. We wish Martin many more years success with us.”
