Banbury-based chartered accountants & business advisers, Burgis & Bullock have congratulated two dedicated staff members who have clocked up an impressive 30 years service each.

Sue Scutter and Angela Heritage both joined the firm in 1974 as personal assistants at Burgis & Bullock's office in West Bar, Banbury.

Rather than offering a traditional service award, the ladies were treated to a surprise trip to Paris! The fun packed day included a visit to The Sacre Coeur, lunch in The Eiffel Tour and a relaxing boat journey on the River Seine, followed by lots of shopping and champagne!

Senior Partner Robert Jones commented: "After spending three decades with the firm, Sue and Angela have given invaluable support, loyalty and service to the firm and our clients.

"Their ability to adapt to all the considerable changes in office working practices over the years and to remain keen and enthusiastic is an example to all of us. After getting up for Paris at 4am and returning at 1am the following morning, they still managed to be first into work the next day at 8.30am!

"We are very grateful for their continued service and look forward to their valued support in the future."
