Longest-serving employee retires from Stainless Metalcraft after 53 years

Following a career spanning over five decades at local engineering firm Stainless Metalcraft (Metalcraft), the company’s longest-serving employee Michael Wills has announced his retirement. 

Having joined Metalcraft in 1969 as a welding apprentice, Michael’s hard work and dedication over many years culminated with his promotion into the Projects Production Department where his skills and expertise proved invaluable across many highly complex contracts.

Since 2017, he has been sharing his wealth of knowledge with the next generation of skilled workers, training apprentices in welding techniques.

Michael said: “Fifty-three years for Metalcraft is an achievement I’m extremely proud of. I am very lucky to have worked on some fantastic projects, with some of the best people in the industry.

“Metalcraft has continually evolved as a business over that time and has been a great company to work for. I’m so honored to have been asked to work with the next generation of welding apprentices and feel like my career has gone full-circle.”
