On the stand at Glee this year will be fifth generation Chris Durston, who has been with the company since 1965 and Dan Durston, who celebrated his 25th anniversary earlier this year. Also representing the company on stand will be Nick Madgin, Ron Perry, Nick Bellett, Mark Rogers and Phillip Manns, along with Stephen Manns and Emma Grainger-Barbour.
