When Jeff first walked through the doors of our Holywells Road office in Ipswich in August 2013, it wasn't just as another employee. He joined the original core team of Paul, Dave, Ben, and Jim bringing with him a unique blend of passion and entrepreneurial spirit, as he was still managing his own Landscaping and Gardening business - Orange Tree Garden Services.
However, Jeff quickly realised where he truly belonged. By Christmas of that same year, he made the bold decision to bid farewell to his personal venture, committing himself fully to Azpects. He officially joined the company full-time on January 6th, 2014. Jeff's role wasn't merely about tele-sales. Recognizing his unique rapport with customers and his knack for addressing their needs, Azpects crafted a new position just for him: the Customer Support Manager. He took on the role of Sales Manager (South) with pride but continued to wear his "support hat." In 2022, in acknowledgment of his expertise and dedication to the company, he was promoted to Associate Director.
Reflecting on his journey, Jeff said, “It’s been the fastest ten of my 54 years on this planet (or any planet, which I’m sometimes on - according to a few complaint customers!). But it’s truly been the best. I've witnessed the brand evolve, seen many faces come and go, and every single day, I've been proud to be a part of the Azpects story. Here’s to the next ten!”
As we celebrate this milestone with Jeff, we're not just commemorating ten years of employment. We're celebrating a decade of dedication and commitment to Azpects and providing the best landscaping supplies to the UK. Here's to Jeff, his journey, and many more years. Cheers to a decade and counting!
