Staff at Fields said a fond farewell to their former directors at a party at the weekend.
The celebration took place at the Anchor Inn on Saturday.
A poem, written by Wendy Cummins, entitled Retirement Time, was read out in honour of Catherine and Tim Spores and Trevor and Penny Roberts.
Fields is now under new ownership after being bought by family store Goulds of Dorchester in December.
