Alan McColl – 50 Years of Service 🏆
Finally, October also marked an incredible 50 years of service for Alan McColl, who joined HMG in October 1976. Throughout his career at HMG, Alan has worked across several areas of the business, including Quality Control, Technical Service and Research & Development, most recently serving as Development Liaison Manager.
Over the past five decades, Alan has played an important role in HMG’s technical development, with some of his early formulation work from the 1970s still linked to products manufactured today. His knowledge, dedication and contributions have left a lasting impact on the business and the colleagues he has worked alongside.
Everyone at HMG would like to congratulate Colin, John and Alan on their incredible milestones and thank them for their dedication, hard work and contributions to the business over the years. 👏
