70 Years of Browns Distribution: A Year of Celebration

Seventy years in business is a huge milestone, and we’re making sure it gets the celebration it deserves! From a fresh anniversary look to events throughout the year, we’re looking forward to marking this special occasion with our team, customers, and community. We’re excited to unveil our brand-new 70th-anniversary logo, which will soon appear across our marketing materials, uniforms, and fleet. And that’s not all - keep an eye on the roads as our special 70th anniversary livery rolls out on an initial 10 trailers, set to hit the highways this spring. Later this year, we’ll be bringing together the Browns team, customers, stakeholders, and families for a spectacular anniversary event - a chance to celebrate the people who have been at the heart of our success. Our social media channels have turned back the clock, sharing archive photos, newspaper clippings, and stories from across the decades. Over the coming months, we’ll continue to refresh our branding to showcase different eras of Browns Distribution, highlighting how far we’ve come while looking ahead to the future. As we celebrate our 70th birthday, we’re also proud to recognise another milestone, Stoke-on-Trent’s 100th anniversary since being granted city status by King George V in 1925. To honour both occasions, we’re excited to be working with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and local organisations on a special project that will pay tribute to our home city. Stay tuned for more details! We’d love for you to be part of our celebrations. If you have ideas on how to get involved, want to collaborate, or see an opportunity for a dual-branded initiative, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at marketing@brownsgroup.co.uk . Here’s to 70 years of Browns, and many more to come!

Celebrating 40 Years: Georgia Robbins’ Incredible Journey at Browns Distribution

Last week, we marked a huge milestone at Browns Distribution as we celebrated Georgia Robbins' 40th anniversary with the team! Georgia joined Browns back in 1985, and over the last 40 years, she’s become a key part of our operations. If there’s one thing that’s certain - it’s that Georgia has done it all! Georgia’s journey at Browns began on front-of-house, where she was a friendly and welcoming face at our former Ravensdale site. She later moved into warehouse stock control before taking on roles in our busy transport office - back in the days of paperwork, before computer systems streamlined our operations! Fast forward to today, and Georgia plays a key role in our admin and finance department, managing activities such as payroll, claims, invoicing, and credit control, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Georgia has worked under three generations of Browns leadership, giving her a knowledge of the business, that may only be rivalled by our second-longest serving team member - Mick Stirzaker! Managing Director, David Brown Jnr, shared his thoughts on Georgia’s milestone: “40 years… What an achievement. Georgia has been a fundamental part of our growth over the years and an outstanding support for me and our wider team. Georgia, thank you for your years of dedicated hard work and support.” At Browns Distribution, we’re incredibly proud to have long serving team members like Georgia, whose loyalty, expertise, and dedication help us deliver outstanding service to our customers. Georgia, thank you for everything, we’d be truly lost without you!
