Last week the staff at Mitchell Graphics celebrated the anniversaries of two men who, together, have put in 70 years of dedication to the job: Tom Bellmer, who started out in the camera department in 1986 and John Emery as a pressman in 1996.
Mitchell Graphics president and CEO Gary Fedus said, “If you know Tom, you know that he is meticulous at whatever he does and he does it extremely well, so there was never a time when the quality of work was better than his. Tom's meticulous nature carries into all of the work that he does today. He is steadfast, always showing up early, every day – a rare quality these days. He has been a true cornerstone in this company as we have faced so many changes and I’m truly grateful for him.”
And, “John’s friendly, enthusiastic and caring personality has served him and, of course, us, very well in his capacity. He has become the face of Mitchell to many in the community, delivering products with his infectious attitude and enthusiasm. John's friendly, caring nature is not lost – it gets noticed. John is an awesome ambassador for Mitchell in our community and is very well liked by everyone. We wouldn’t be who we are without him.”
