A LONG-SERVING glazier has celebrated 40 years with the same builders' merchants.

A special presentation was held to mark Nield Forster's milestone with East Anglia-based Kent Blaxill.

Mr Forster, 57, of Brightlingsea, was presented with a gold watch by director Kelvin Rix.

The glazier joined the firm in 1965 as a glazing apprentice and, apart from a short, two-year break, has remained with the firm. He is a keen sailor and has his own boat.
