This week we said goodbye to David Strutt, a long-standing member of the Long Rake family who we’ll really miss.
David started at Long Rake in 1994 when there were only a handful of people in the office and a small team in the yard. Following his arrival he helped the company to diversify and expand. His expertise, contacts and determination allowed the company to go from strength to strength, moving from supplying spar to large concrete and dashing companies to minerals processing and supplying a rapidly expanding range of products for a wide variety of sectors.
Because of David’s unwavering support and loyalty to the company Long Rake Spar has become a major supplier to the resin surfacing market and the expanding landscaping sector, now distributing aggregates across the UK and expanding further-a-field.
After a long time working at Long Rake, touching speeches from friends and colleagues, and a lovely meal at the Devonshire Arms in Beeley, we finally said farewell to a key member of the team.
Congratulations David and Happy Retirement!
