Yahoo News How this father and son duo from Larne will be delivering smiles this Father's Day
This Father’s Day, Asda in Northern Ireland is celebrating the dads and father figures who work in the store, as well as special working relationships like Bill and Ryan Guiller, a father and son delivery driving duo who work together.
Ryan Guiller began his career as a delivery driver at the Asda in Larne in September 2019, and was shortly followed by his dad, Bill, who started working as part of the same team in the Co Antrim store just six months later in March 2022.
Ahead of Father’s Day Bill spoke fondly of his relationship with his son, both inside and outside of work. The pair will be able to enjoy some quality father and son time together this Sunday as they'll both be on shift.

Bill said: “We are both working this Father’s Day so it’s a great opportunity for me to spend some extra quality time with my son, as life can get so busy. I really enjoy working with Ryan, it means we get to see each other nearly every day, even if we are just passing ships.
“We look out for each other, and most families wouldn’t get the chance to share that kind of experience with each other.”
Ryan added: “My dad and I have been working together for just over 2 years and I really enjoy working with him. We have good fun, although I tend to follow his guidance and just do whatever he tells me! I’m looking forward to spending some nice quality time with him this Father’s Day – even if we are working, it will be enjoyable.”
Gail Caldwell, Community Champion at Asda Larne, said: “At Asda, we want to recognise the colleagues working on special days such as Father’s Day like Bill and Ryan, so for this Father’s Day on Sunday 16th June, we’ve organised some lovely treat boxes in store which will be given out as a thank you to all those dads working hard in store.”
