Long-serving members of staff and retirees who clocked
up nearly a thousand years’ service in the country’s busiest
ambulance service have been recognised at a ceremony.
Twenty-six frontline staff who completed
20 years service received the Queen’s Ambulance Service Long
Service and Good Conduct Medal and nine of their colleagues
received the London Ambulance Service Medallion. The medals were
presented by Chief Executive Peter Bradley.
Twelve retirees from across the organisation,
with a combined 405 years with the Service, were presented with
glass blocks, bells and a certificate by Chairman Richard Hunt.
Members of frontline and support staff, as
well as their families, attended the event in Westminster on 10
March.
Peter said: “I pay tribute to everyone who
received an award, whether it be for long service or retirement –
it’s a great achievement.
“We shouldn’t forget the important part that
partners, family and friends play – they have the important job of
listening to the stresses and strains of our staff, who do a very
difficult job day in and day out.”
