Derek Mason retired on 31st August 2007 after completing an astonishing 45 Years service with the Company.
Derek seen here receiving his retirement gratuities from Operations Manager, Jarnail Sani, joined Adams Butter back in 1962 when Frank Ifield was top of the charts with ‘ I remember you’ and Brazil were winning the World Cup final in Chile. He spent most of his working life at Springfield Road blending butter, before the significant changes in 1989, when the cheese packing operation moved to Barnfields. It was here Derek spent his latter working life packing on line 7.

Derek’s brother Jim retired back in 2000 after working for the Company for 44 years. A combined total of 89 years of loyal and committed service from Jim and Derek Mason is a remarkable achievement, which is unlikely to be surpassed.
Derek has left slightly ahead of his scheduled retirement date to help care for his brother Jim who has not enjoyed the best of health in recent times. On behalf of all the staff at Kerrygold we offer Jim and Derek our very best wishes for the future.
