Welcome Break
Celebrating 65 years of Welcome Break
This year, Welcome Break turns 65, and we want you to be part of the celebration.
From our very first service area to our 60th location, our journey has been shaped by the incredible people who’ve worked with us over the decades. As we mark this milestone, we’re collecting stories, memories, and reflections from team members past and present — especially those connected to our first site, Newport Pagnell.
Whether you were with us for a summer job, a decade-long career, or anything in between, we’d love to hear your story. Your experiences are part of our history, and we want to celebrate them.
