Employee of the Month – February 2026

Our dad and mum, Kibworth born Roger and Joyce Kempster, (formerly of Market Harborough), now long-term residents of Fleckney Road, Kibworth, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on the 20 March. We actually celebrated with family and friends a couple of weeks before that, at ‘The Railway’ pub in Kibworth.
