A.G. Coombs Annual Dinner and Awards Night continues to be a special event bringing together personnel from across the A.G. Coombs Group of companies to recognise the year’s achievements including:
21 Years of Service
When Allan George Coombs presented a gold watch to his first apprentice, Jim Barr, on achieving 21 years’ service in 1968, this was just the beginning of what has become a long-standing tradition within the A.G. Coombs Group of Companies.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients; Wayne Briggs, Stuart Knipe and David Mason.
Of the 146 employees who have received watches, 48 still work within the
A.G. Coombs Group – A remarkable statistic.
