Birr's John Reddin feted for 25 years of service to Certa

Birr man John Reddin was the toast of the town this month when he was presented with a special award to mark over 25 years of distinguished service as a driver with local fuel supplier Certa.

Certa, which is part of DCC plc, operates Ireland’s largest network of pay@pump forecourts and home heating depots, including Certa forecourts in Tullamore and Edenderry and a Certa depot in Shinrone.

John is a familiar face to Certa customers having serviced the Birr town area for more than 25 years. He started working with the company in the Birr depot in 1999 when it was known as Three Rivers Oil under the management of Ger Boylan.

Presenting the award, Orla Stevens, Managing Director of Certa, commended Garrett for achieving the milestone of 25 years’ service with Certa and applauded his unstinting commitment to delivering a high standard of customer service during that time.

"John is well known for the excellent service that he provides to Certa customers in Offaly. He is based in the Shinrone depot where he delivers to a loyal customer base. His service over the past 25 years has been exceptional and we are delighted to recognise his great work as a local face of our business," said Ms. Stevens.

"Certa is committed to continually enhancing the service that we offer domestic, commercial and industrial customers and we value the great service that colleagues like John deliver each and every day as we continue to pursue our ambition of becoming Ireland’s most progressive energy company," she said.
