Des Maull, one of Croydex's longest-serving area sales managers, is retiring after more than 30 years with the company.
Mr Maull joined what was Thorpac in 1974, before its acquisition by Lionheart in 1990, a company that subsequently bought the Croydex brand in 1992.

Speaking of his retirement Mr Maull said: "I am grateful for the loyalty of these businesses over the years. I've made many friends in the trade among other reps and will remember numerous trade shows with a smile."
