This in from Island Roads, in their own words. Ed
Island Roads has recognised six of its staff whose efforts over the summer went beyond the call of duty.
Receiving recognition were:
- Sweeper Driver David Gray and Street Cleansing Operative Mark Davis who administered potentially lifesaving first aid to a youngster injured in a traffic accident in Shanklin recently (9 August 2013).
- Traffic Management Operatives Ben Meakin and Kev King for assisting a Newport woman who hurt her leg in a fall at Compton Bay (10 July 2013)
- District Steward Derek Bean and Area Superintendent Rob Read for helping to dislodge a distressed young boy who had climbed into a redundant canon at Calbourne Mill and got stuck (3 September 2013).
Paul Herbert, Island Roads Service Director, said:
“I am pleased that in each of these incidents, our staff were on hand to offer vital assistance to people in their time of need. I know their efforts were very much appreciated by those they helped out and I am delighted to be able to formally recognise their actions on behalf of the company.”
The six have been given certificates and gift vouchers (£20) by the company under its special recognition award scheme that acknowledges the special efforts of staff.
