A Mid Essex brewery presented awards to four long-serving members of staff.

Ridley's gave presents and commemorative tankards to the quartet, who have clocked up more than 60 years for the company between them.

Nicholas Ridley, the brewery's chairman, presented the awards at Ridley's annual awards ceremony at the Hartford End Brewery, near Chelmsford.

Ken Dunbar, a maintenance engineer, of Witham, and Darryl Fletcher, a packing supervisor, of Felsted, have worked at Ridleys for 20 years.

Jim Clark, development manager, of Witham, and IT manager Steve Hamerston, of White Colne, were rewarded for ten years service.
