Rolling Up the Carpet: Celebrating Salesman's Success of Over 30 years
Wishing Malcolm All The Best In His Hard Earned Retirement
After serving customers for over 30 years at Burts Carpets in Darlington, Malcolm has chosen the end of July 2024 as the right time for retirement!
Malcolm has seen many changes over the last 30 years or so at our family business - including moving shops from Gladstone Street to Valley Street then to Russell Street before moving to King Street and finally to Eastmount Road.There has also been a shift in the types and patterns of carpets he has sold starting with heavily patterned traditional Axminster styles changing to the modern day trend plain coloured stain resistant carpets.
"Have you not retired yet?" has been a standing joke in the shop by both customers and his co-workers since before Covid! We always knew he would eventually retire but never wanted the day to come. As many of you will know Malcolm is exceptionally good fun to be around and our shop floor will never be the same without his unique sense of humour. He has always been a fantastic salesman and this is simply down to the fact that he is one of the most likeable people you could ever hope to meet.
From his Burts Family we wish him all the best in joining his wife Laura, who also retired from the NHS earlier this year, in many years of relaxation and enjoyment. Congratulations Mal from Claire, Graeme, Julie, Trevor, Kelly, Lee, Billy, Rob and Mark.
