After 20 years as a Merridale field service engineer, Kelvin Kilaurin has packed his tools and signed off his final assignment. For now he has retired and is happily looking forward to enjoying some freedom years with his wife Carol.
The occasion was marked by a gathering of colleagues at which company director, Paul Ledbury, noted Kelvin’s contribution to the development of Merridale fuel management systems, saying:
“Kelvin has been involved with Merridale pretty much since it was set up as MIS Fuel Monitoring in 1994. Initially this connection was through his father Cal, who had worked with the precursor business that led the foundation of MIS and Merridale.
