@AvantiWestCoast hi - no first class service on the 15.21 train from New Street to Euston today?

🎈This month we are celebrating the milestone 30th year of McDermotts🎈

What better way to celebrate than with treats across the company, with sites receiving breakfast & Head Office enjoying lunch & birthday cake🍰

📸Here’s a sneak peak of photos showing a sample of our teams.

@AerLingus @HeathrowAirport See details here

[Patrick McDermott @patrick_mcd]

@HeathrowAirport No need for a DM. Flying on EI381 this morning from T2. Dismissive staff at the boarding gate who can’t communicate the boarding process and rude third party staff who completed my lift on.

[Patrick McDermott @patrick_mcd]

another morning of being treated like a second class citizen by @HeathrowAirport and @AerLingus - absolutely no consideration for disabled customers #rightsonflights

It was a privilege to work closely with @MarkLloydLGA while I was at the LGA. His knowledge of and passion for local government is infectious and I’ll continue to value his wise counsel whatever he does next!

[Local Government Association (LGA) @LGAcomms]

I’ve just waited 35 minutes after my @AerLingus flight to @ShannonAirport landed to get assistance… I don’t want to hear anyone else tell me they’re sorry. Fix it. #rightsonflights

[Patrick McDermott @patrick_mcd]

A pleasure to speak at the @ngdp_LGA Policy Network Conference alongside Jacqui Broadhead & @nkilvington about the policy professional of the future! Insightful questions from a thoughtful audience!

[Patrick McDermott @patrick_mcd]

[Patrick McDermott @patrick_mcd]

@GAILsBakery hello Gail’s. was so happy to see that you’re opening a branch near me on #bermondseystreet but wondered if there’s any #stepfreeaccess? 👨🏻‍🦽need pastries too!

A pleasure to celebrate @ngdp_LGA 20th birthday and a privilege to be asked to give my reflections on the scheme, my journey and public service excellence #ngdp16 #ngdp

[Mark Lloyd @MarkLloydCBE]

Delighted to celebrate 20 years of @ngdp_LGA with current & former participants and supporters of the programme.

So pleased that @LGAcomms has recruited and developed over 2000 of the country’s brightest for #LocalGov.

Now loving the discussion between four #NGDP alumni👇

[Mae @mae_wilson_]

Fantastic to hear from the panel of wonderful people at the @ngdp_LGA 20th Anniversary Celebration - continue to be incredibly proud of this scheme and our sector! Thank you Akua Agyepong @patrick_mcd @lauraw5420 @greene_tweets #publicsectorandproud

[McDermotts @weareMcDermotts]

Suicide is the biggest killer of under 35s in the UK. During the pandemic PAPYRUS saw a 25% increase in the no. of calls, texts & emails to their confidential HOPELINEUK. We’re especially #proud to have supported @PAPYRUS_tweets through this period as one of our chosen #charities

[McDermotts @weareMcDermotts]

One of our chosen #charities to support through 2020 and 2021 was @tommys and we were #honoured to present them with a #donation of £20,000. Tommy’s funds vital research into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth #charity

[LGANews @LGANews]
