The annual celebration of long-serving staff members took place at the Belfry Hotel & Resort in Sutton Coldfield.
The 25-Year Members Dinner is for colleagues who have worked for the company for 25 years or more and are still employed here.
Some of the approximately 200 attending – which includes guests – have achieved 40 years or more, with Armitage-based Materials Controller Karen Coates (above) receiving flowers to mark her 49th year of service.
Managing Director Stephen Ewer said: "This was a very enjoyable evening, recognising and celebrating the loyalty of people who have been dedicated to Ideal Standard over 25 years or more.
“My thanks and congratulations to everyone who has made such a valuable contribution to the company over that time.
The evening, which is open to colleagues from all UK sites, began with a drinks reception followed dinner and then speeches by Stephen and John Robinson.
