Somers Forge, a metal forger based in Halesowen has celebrated nearly a century of combined service from two of its longest-serving employees. Machine shop inspector Kevin Woodward has reached 50 years with the firm, while machine shop supervisor Pete Hodgetts has built a career at the forge spanning more than four decades. Woodward and Hodgetts, both 66, followed their families to work in the forge, with both being third-generation employees. They were joined by their families to mark the anniversaries, where they enjoyed a cake baked by a colleague and received a Fortnum & Mason hamper.
