Half a century later, Jimmy Fullerton waves goodbye to Robinson Services

1965 was a milestone year for many reasons.  The Beatles film ‘Help!’ made its debut, the popular series ‘Thunderbirds’ premiered on television, and Jimmy Fullerton began his career at Robinson Services.  After an impeccable record and 49 years and ten months of committed and loyal service to the Robinson Services laundry division, Jimmy Fullerton, one of the company’s longest-serving lorry drivers, has made the difficult decision to hang up the keys to his lorry.

At a company presentation on Friday 27^th March 2015 Jimmy received gifts from Robinson Services staff and sampled the cake the team lovingly made him, while Robinson Services Managing Director David Robinson touched on stories from Jimmy’s time in his role.

David Robinson, Managing Director of Robinson Services, commented;

“Jimmy originally started the Waveney Laundry in the garage in Harryville in 1965, so back then he was paid in shillings!    After demonstrating such fantastic managerial skills, he progressed through to running the garage and then decided to try his hand at distribution, and joined the distribution team where he found his niche.  Jimmy was and still is loved by clients and colleagues, as he always built great respect and rapport with everyone he met.  On behalf of everyone here at Robinson Services, I would like to wish Jimmy happiness in his retirement and we will all truly miss a great individual around the site.  Thank you for your years of service Jimmy.”
