Announcements by the Chairman or Chief Executive
Minutes:
The Chairman presented awards to Steve Abbott, Katie Bramham and Heather Tipping, staff from Bedale Leisure Centre who had been involved in an incident at Bedale Leisure Centre regarding a customer who had suffered a cardiac arrest. Staff responded immediately and thanks to the efforts of the staff and paramedics the customer made a full recovery.
The Chairman presented an award to Julie Stead, CCTV operator, who had helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic fire at Tesco in Northallerton. Julie had been undertaking a review in relation to another incident along with two colleagues from North Yorkshire Police, when she spotted smoke coming from a cage full of cardboard boxes to the rear of Tesco. Within 5 minutes a blaze was raging and had set the wall and neighbouring property alight but due to Julie’s quick response in informing the emergency services, officers were quickly at the scene and put the fire out before it spread any further.
