And finally…
WLP hosted the Beales Hotels Pensioners lunch this week – a joyful occasion where over 30 former members of staff aged from mid 60’s to 90 came together to celebrate memories of working in this wonderful family firm. The longevity of service was again a feature with over 600 years at Beale’s between all present. Equally the happy times when at work were mentioned time and again, whether in tough physical jobs like housekeeping, kitchen or banqueting, or in more mentally demanding office and management roles. It was a delight to see so many dear colleagues, who have now become dear friends as well.
