Bield the housing association which helps its clients ‘live the life they want’ across Scotland has honoured staff members who have worked with them for a total of 235 years!
At Bield’s 2016 AGM they were presented with certificates marking their service to the leading housing and care provider.
Lynn Gibson, Deputy Manager at Bield’s Haugh Street development in Edinburgh was part of the group of colleagues who celebrated 15 years working with the charity.
Gerry O’Sullivan, Chair of Bield, said: “The 45 years of work Bield has done could not have been achieved without the dedication and hard work of all our staff.
“I am proud to present so many staff members with Long Service awards and even more so to call them my colleagues.
“The loyalty and hard work exhibited by those recognised at our AGM is at the heart of what we do here at Bield. Without our dedicated staff, we simply couldn’t provide the commitment to care that we do.”
The awards were given to a growing list of members of staff who have dedicated 15 or more years to caring for and helping all of Bield’s tenants and residents across Scotland.
Earlier this year, Bield were presented with the Investors in People Gold award underlining the organisation’s dedication to improving its working practices and creating a working environment that benefits and listens to its employees.
All Bield employees are dedicated to providing quality care which will enhance and enrich the lives of older people in Scotland in line with Bield’s ‘Free to Be’ philosophy which lets people make their own choices about how they live their lives while being there to support them when they need it.
