Jeremy “Jem” Starkey has finally retired from CWC (Central Wheel Components) after 18 years as office manager.
Jem will be 68 years old this month and has decided it is time to spend more time with the family – wife Sue, daughter Louise and granddaughter Elizabeth.
Jem spent 30 years as a car parts manager with Ford and has had a lifelong love of motorcycles. When Jem was 65 he was presented with a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle by CWC MD Warren Harding.
At his final retirement party he was presented with a Shoei helmet, a decanter and bottle of vintage port by his work colleagues.
A colleague said: “Jem was an old school manager, gruff exterior but a pussy cat on the inside. He will be sadly missed by all his colleagues and customers alike.”
