ONE-fifth of the workforce at Cleveland Potash have worked for the company for more than 25 years.
Cleveland Potash's 25-year club received 20 new members at a ceremony held in Rushpool Hall, Saltburn, bringing the total membership to 170.
Keith Jackson, chairman of the company, based at Boulby Mine, east Cleveland, presented the employees with gold watches and thanked them for their loyalty, hard work and dedication.
He said that spending 25 years with the same company was an important milestone in anyone's career.
For 170 employees to achieve it was nothing less than remarkable, said Mr Jackson.
