Wishing Derek Elliot a Happy Retirement πŸŽ‰

Monday 1st September 2025 Get our latest news into your inbox
To mark an incredible 45 years of service, the Carlisle team recently gathered for a celebratory buffet lunch to bid farewell to our Parts Manager, Derek Elliot. During the afternoon, Derek was presented with a Mercedes-Benz paperweight and a selection of other gifts as tokens of our appreciation. It was a fantastic opportunity to share memories, reflect on his many achievements, and wish him well for the next chapter.
Β 

Derek’s last working day will be this Friday 5 September 2025, bringing to a close a remarkable career. He first joined the Carlisle site, formerly known as CD Bramhall, on 26 August 1980 – before many of us were even born! Carlisle later became part of the Ciceley group in 1998, and Derek has been a constant presence ever since.

Β 

Over the decades, he’s witnessed huge changes in the industry β€” from parts catalogues and handwritten orders to today’s digital systems β€” and has remained a steady, reliable figure throughout.

 

Derek is also one of the longest-serving Parts Managers in our network, and his expertise, commitment, and support for colleagues and customers have left a lasting impact on the whole business.

 

On behalf of everyone at Ciceley β€” thank you for everything. Enjoy your well-earned retirement, Derek. 🌟
