Steve Jefcoate, who has been one of our cheesemakers here for 10 years, has recently flown out to Afghanistan on a security building mission as part of his duties with the Territorial Army.
Steve, who is also the son-in-law of one of our longest serving members of staff, Richard Villis, has actually been away training for the last six months in preparation for this tour. Steve’s training included two weeks spent in Cyprus getting used to operating in the heat, all before flying out to Afghanistan with Taunton based, B Company, 6 Rifles.
Steve is a much-loved member of our team here at Cricketer and not only does he have many friends at the Cricketer, but as he is married to the daughter of Richard Villis it means he actually has a lot of family here. Richard Villis works alongside his two brothers, Anthony and Nigel so Steve works with his father–in-law and two uncles-in-law as well!!
We are all very proud of Steve and of what he is doing, and the whole of Cricketer Farm wishes him well and looks forward to his safe return in six months time.
Good luck Steve.
Greg.
