Due to the coronavirus, a farewell bash for Senior Finance Assistant Margaret McKay had to be held a week early on T ursday 19 March – a week before she offi cially retired. Margaret has worked at


SELECT for 13 years, during which her main roles have involved the purchase ledgers, month-end duties, telephone

SELECT she also helped organise a string of charity fundraisers, including Children in Need and the Macmillan bake off , which she helped make extremely popular. Margaret said: “I’m really going to miss the people I’ve
