Fireplace Delivery Driver Retires

Very sad day today (Friday 17th September) at Victorian fireplaces.

Eddie our van driver has retired after seven years with us, and approximately 700,000 miles up and down the country, delivering our fireplaces. To Eddies credit he has not had an accident in his van not even a scrape, during this time he has had three vans in his charge, a great achievement. Its a shame our other van drivers haven’t had such an unblemished record !!! but time will tell.

I will say that the vans have let Eddie down a few times, with breakdowns of various types, yes even brand new Mercedes sprinter vans break down, unfortunately.

Eddie was a great ambassador to his chosen profession and a fantastic guy very witty and his knowledge of Lincoln’s history and surrounding area is second to none.

Eddie was the first one into work every day and nearly always the last one to leave.

I wont be able to replace Eddie, I just hope I can find some one that comes near him, but I know I will be looking a long time.

Thank you Eddie for the last seven years, you will be missed by all at Victorian fireplaces, especially me.- Have a great retirement.
