From Vision to Legacy: Honouring Richard Heaton’s Upcoming Retirement

From Vision to Legacy: Honouring Richard Heaton’s Upcoming Retirement

After an extraordinary 39-year journey with Read, we recently gathered to celebrate Richard Heaton as he prepares to embark on a well-deserved retirement. Richard’s career has been defined by unwavering dedication, inspirational leadership, and a commitment to mentoring others – qualities that have left an indelible mark on our organisation.

The celebration was more than an event; it was a heartfelt tribute to Richard’s remarkable contributions and the positive impact he has had on colleagues and the business alike. Stories were shared, achievements remembered, and gratitude expressed for the legacy Richard leaves behind.

As Richard looks forward to the next chapter, we invite everyone to join us in recognising this milestone and wishing him every success in the future.

True to his generous spirit, Richard used this occasion to make a difference by raising funds for two exceptional charities: Nightingale House Hospice and The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity.
