Jim Mortlock, 67, Head Forester at the Mulgrave Estate, near Whitby, received a 51 years’ service bar having been presented with a 40 years’ award in 2011
From Parlington Estate, near Leeds, contractor John Taylor, received a 40 years award. Parlington Estate woodlands have depended of the efforts of three generations of the Taylor family over decades. John was part of his father’s team, assuming leadership upon the death of his father. Now the team includes the next generation.
Mr Mortlock said: “I have enjoyed everything, the challenge, growth, the change and been involved in such great historic plans and project. Putting together a profitable business and turning employment into a hobby. ” Woodland accounts for 16 per cent of the Estate’s land area which is noted for its veteran trees and historic landscape. The forestry team is responsible for the care of around 2,500 acres of woodland. The 10- year forest plan is currently being prepared.
Mulgrave Estates Director Robert Childerhouse said of the two key staff members, who have both recently retired: “Jim has clearly been an inspiration and role model to us all. His achievements will be enjoyed by everyone for a very long time. The many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of trees planted under his watch will be his legacy.
