Watch recipients who attended

Membership in Hudbay’s Quarter Century Club climbed to 3133 Friday night with the presentation of watches to 15 employees who have completed 25 years of continuous service with the Company.  The first ten watches were presented in 1951.

Safety awards were presented to 28 employees with 25 years, 17 with 30 years, 20 with 35 years and 5 with 40 years without a list time accident.  Award recipients were congratulated by President Alan Hair who reflected on their contribution.  He explained the reality is that back over the 20 years since he joined the Company they’ve seen some good times, some bad times and they’ve seen a number of mines come and go, that’s the nature of this mining business, it’s cyclical.  He said they’ve been basically in the business here for over 90 years since they started developing the original Flin Flon ore body and he thinks the longevity of the Company and its success has been due to people like yourselves in this room and the dedication you’ve shown and that’s what gives him the confidence in the future success of Hudbay here in Manitoba.

Also recognized were 79 employees who retired over the past year.
