TENON accountant Dick Tanner is celebrating 40 years' service with the firm.

Now an accounts senior, Dick started with the company in 1966 in Winchester, when it was Knowles Norris & Co.

Dick said: "The biggest change over the last 40 years has to be technology. When I first started we had to do everything by hand as there were no computers or calculators - and no, I did not use quill pens!

"Over the last 40 years I have developed great relationships with my colleagues and clients," he added.

Ray Hallett, director of business services, said: "Congratulations to Dick for 40 years' service, which is a tremendous achievement.

"Dick's contribution to our clients and our office during this period has been invaluable."
