An employee achieving 50 years continuous service with any business these days is a rare occurrence but at Quartzelec<\/a><\/span>, the Rugby,UK-based independent engineering service provider, this now happens with regularity.<\/p>\n

The latest name to be added to the esteemed company roster for achieving 50 years of \u2018continuous\u2019 service was Peter Valentine, an Applications Engineer and internally referred to as the \u2018Archive Guru\u2019, who has made a substantial contribution to the business since joining with AEI in July 1967 as a Technician Apprentice.<\/p>\n

Having worked in a number of roles in the Drawing Office, Peter possesses unique experience and knowledge of all design aspects of AEI\/GEC, AC and DC machines plus has the most in-depth knowledge of the archive, which he puts to excellent use by sharing freely with customers via Quartzelec\u2019s growing rank of engineers, project managers and site teams.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s dedication to his job, his calm approach and manner, smart appearance, quiet polite efficiency and regular fitness regime see him regarded as \u2018a true gentleman\u2019 and made him a role model for many of his younger colleagues.<\/p>\n

At a company event, a presentation was made by Technical Services General Manager Stephen Densley with various comments about Peter being voiced including: \u201cPete is a source of information for all of our engineers, project managers and site team, and advice is freely given in his polite and calm style.\u201d
