Roger Shaw Retires after 50 Years at Rollem

Today we’d like to say a big thank you and give our best wishes to Roger Shaw who after 50 years of service is retiring from Rollem. His career with Rollem began at 15 on leaving school and has continued unbroken until today. In fact he stayed on for an extra few weeks to make sure his last projects were completed.

Roger who is famous on our shop floor for building the feeders that integrate with our SlipStream playing card machines has built all of them for the past 12 years, a project that was not just a work of art but a work of heart. His last feeder is presently on a boat destined for Singapore.

Good Luck Roger!

Made In Sheffield Awards 2012 – Rollem win the Exporters Award

The judges said this “driven” business was a good example of how a small business can develop by exporting and not relying on domestic trade. They said a proactive and personal approach from management made it a standard bearer for small businesses.

Not only is this a win for Rollem but it recognises the support to the economy from the SMEs in the manufacturing sector.

Thanks to all our staff and employees who make the difference and a special thanks to our customers throughout the world who make it all possible.
