Trevor, longstanding employee, is more than a familiar face

Trevor Morgan of Lower Bay, Bequia, is being recognised as the longest-serving employee of Lulley’s Fishing Supplies, having dedicated over four decades of service to the business.

For many in the fishing community, Trevor is more than just a familiar face, he’s part of the foundation of a company that has become a lifeline for countless seafarers. After all, it has been around for 75 years.

“I’ve been here 40 years,” he told SEARCHLIGHT proudly on Monday, June 23, “if I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t be here so long.”
