A dedicated store manager in Kimberley has retired after 32 years with Sainsburys.
Jonathan Dawson, 54, from Chesterfield, joined the company in 1982 on graduating from West Sheffield Polytechnic as a Trainee Manager and has been based at the Kimberley store for the last two years.
The staff held a surprise party on Friday complete with a cake and 80s music, and Jonathan was presented with champagne, vouchers and even a coffee machine.
He said: “It’s quite sad to be leaving as I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of years here, but I won’t miss the commute.”
