Scotland: Stephen Brien retires after 33 years

At a well-attended presentation for Stevie he received many gifts and a wards and a buffet meal was given by our GIC Jacqui Clinton to honour this very special day for this member of staff.

Willie Stuart our Dep gave a very candid and funny speech on his shenanigans throughout his service.

The Branch Chairperson John Dickson was proud to present him with a long service certificate from the national chair of the POA, a set of cufflinks and a two whiskey glasses and water decanter as a token of the branch thanks and well wishes.

We all wish him a long and happy retirement.
