I work for a University, so roughly 1096. Bit I work in was 1602.

Bodleian?

1582 for the school I’m at

500 years old this year

1792 was the start of my company. feels like I’ve been there since day 1…

Only 4 years this place, although *cough cough* a company with a similar name and nature of trade was here before a ‘misunderstanding’ with HMRC killed it.

Last place started out in 1861, but was bought up in the 90’s by one that was started in 1834 – oh how we used to mock the ‘old boys’ next door, until the whole thing was bought up by a real old timer firm who started in 1727 in 2000. You could argue they were bought up, well 83%ish of it in 2008 by the UK.

I’m self employed. 🙄

If it’s the kids’ school I do volunteer type stuff at, that opened in 1350.

No vicars here?

But it clearly hasn’t been a company for all that time come to think of it, so I lose.

Bodleian?

Yep, though not in one of the nice looking bits!

East Anglian Real Property Co.limited just folded after 89 years,

So we are finally safe from German invasion or is there a plan B to their cunning Red Roofed Barns

Everyone…Intertek we use your testing services.

Company I work for is a civil engineering firm 151 yrs old.

current employer only 5 years old, but plenty of chopping up and TUPE involved -most of us worked for a much much older employer and are still in the same posts sat at same desks as we were before current company even ever thought about.

More excitingly, when I was a lot younger I very briefly worked for the Gendarmerie Nationale, which wikipedia tells me is only 2 years younger than the Revolution. But much older still if you consider that the first gendarmes were TUPE’d over from the Marshalcy which started somewhere in the 1100’s…

My own company opened it’s doors 6 years ago today. Not the oldest, but I’m possibly the proudest!

I’ve done some volunteer work for St John Ambulance, which (sort of!) started in 1099…

My wife used to work somewhere that started in 1534.

If only Druid.H was still here

My wife used to work somewhere that started in 1534.
