'I'm Britain's oldest worker - I'm 98 and doing my job keeps me young'

  • 11 days ago
Britain’s oldest worker has no plans to retire at the grand age of 98 – saying his job “keeps me young”.

Ivor Ward is still clocking on four days a week as a production operative at health company EM Pharma.

He started work at the firm when he was 80 following a career which included jobs in the Army and being a professional poker player.

He did retire when he was 79 but only managed one day before he got "so bored" he went job-hunting and joined EM Pharma near his home.

He now enjoys weekends drinking with his younger colleagues and playing poker with friends.
