The Bristol-based Zanetti Group, which incorporates MFS Stone Surfaces, have celebrated the long service of three key people within the group: Mary Ford, who has been there 40 years; Des Kendall, 50 years; and Sante Zanetti, who founded the company in the early 1960s.

Today, Sante is still a director. Des is also now a Director, having started on the machines at 14. Mary, now at the forefront of sales and marketing, appeared on the company calendars when she first started. She has been involved in the launch of all the company’s new products ever since, including the latest, MiniQ (see the website: miniQ.co.uk). 

The whole group and their partners celebrated with a meal, a certain amount of reminiscing and an overnight stay at a top Bristol hotel.
