We are incredibly proud to announce that Liam, who has been a valued part of our team since 2021 working as a Driver Bearer, has now stepped up to become the Branch Manager at Gascoignes of Coleshill!

Liam has been a family friend of ours, and watching him grow, work hard, and achieve so much over the last four years has been truly special. Moving into this next chapter within our family business makes this achievement even more meaningful to us.

We believe in him wholeheartedly and know he will flourish in his new role, continuing to make a real difference every single day. We couldn’t be prouder of everything he’s achieved so far and are excited to see all that’s still to come.

80 years ago today, at 3pm, Winston Churchill addressed the nation with a momentous announcement: Germany had surrendered to the Allied forces.

The Western world erupted in celebration. In a rare and joyful moment of freedom, Princess Elizabeth—our future Queen—and her sister Princess Margaret even slipped into the jubilant crowds to celebrate alongside the people.

“God bless you all. This is your victory. In our long history, we have never seen a greater day than this. Everyone, man or woman, has done their best.”
—Winston Churchill

Today, we commemorate VE Day for many reasons.
It symbolises hope after the years of relentless bombings and suffering.
It symbolises unity, as nations came together to stand against tyranny.
But above all, it symbolises respect—for the millions who lost their lives, and for the sacrifices made by people from all walks of life.

We remember them and we thank them.
