Yearsley Group employees and their guests celebrated 60 years in business with a black tie gala dinner that brought together 625 staff from all 12 depots throughout the UK.

Harry Yearsley, managing director, said: “We wanted to bring the full spectrum of our staff together to celebrate this immense accomplishment. Our employees are the reason we have lasted 60 years and have evolved into the largest frozen provider in the UK and this was our way of saying thank you.”

As the guests sat down for a four meal, the electric string quartet ‘Stringmania,’ who have played everywhere from Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall, and performed with Sir Paul McCartney, provided the entertainment.

Yearslet logistics director, Tim Moran, who bears a striking resemblance to Dave from the Money Supermarket advertisements, surprised the room with his heels, hot pants, false bum cheeks and enviable legs to give his rendition of the dance.

Then Yearsley Group’s version of the ever popular Frozen tune ‘Let it Go’ was played on the big screens.

‘Rollacoaster’ played the night away with tunes old and new, keeping the dance floor full until the evening was over.

Yearsley Group also has a year-long campaign to raise £60,000 for 60 years, to be spilt between four national charities, Parkinson’s UK, British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research and Help for Heroes and 12 local charities chosen by employees.

Harry Yearsley commented, “With just over six months to go we are on target at £30,000 raised and have many more events planned throughout the year, including Tough Mudder and the Yorkshire Three Peaks.”
