Jeff Darley Retires After 45 Years of Service

Congratulations to Jeff Darley on his recent retirement after nearly five decades with Darley! Jeff graduated from Marquette with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and began his career part-time with Darley in 1974, and full-time in 1981 working as an engineer, shop supervisor, assistant Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, leading Darley’s Chippewa Falls, WI, pump manufacturing facility. Jeff comments, “Hard for me to believe that my 45-year career at Darley ended with my retirement celebration in December. It has been awesome working with Team Darley employees, both present and past, the OEMs, fire departments, first responders and all our customers around the world. The relationships I developed and the memories I have will never be forgotten. The change in the world’s fire and emergency services from the 1970s to the 2020s and beyond has been incredible. The changes Darley and our team have gone through have been amazing. You all made my work at Darley so rewarding. Thank you for the relationships and memories I have made with you. Thank you for using Darley products. Thank you for serving those that serve. Work hard, play hard, enjoy life!” Jeff will remain on Darley’s Board of Directors. We thank Jeff for his years of service and wish him well in his retirement!
