Mark Thom - 30 years' service

“Working at Story has been an incredible journey. I’m lucky to work with a fantastic, talented team and have the freedom to create innovative solutions that help us stand out.

What I love most is the variety – from new factories to major highways and high-profile rail projects across the UK. My fondest memory is my first project: delivering a new-build factory at Innovia Films as a 23-year-old rookie Site Manager.

That variety still keeps me engaged and passionate after more than 30 years with the company.”

Mark Thom, Pre-Construction Manager, Construction

Jenny Dickson - 30 years' service

“Story to me is family. After 30 years, coming to work still feels like coming home. I’m proud to see the business grow and succeed, and the camaraderie here – especially in tough times – is what makes Story special.

One of my earliest memories was seeing one of our first blue vans heading to site, full of lads laughing and ready for a hard day’s graft. Fred’s words still ring true: Never presume or assume, always ask. Work hard for Story and we will work hard for you. Long may my time here continue.”

Jenny Dickson, Payroll Manager, Group Services

Peter Barrett - 30 years' service

“I’ve been proud to be Story’s longest-serving wagon driver since 1995. I enjoy my job because every day is different, and I get to work alongside great teams on site including fitters, machine drivers, and fellow wagon drivers.

The best part is the good crack and banter with people I’ve known for years and can trust. My fondest memory will always be getting my start with Fred and working alongside everyone on the ground.”
