Congratulations and well done to Clerical Assistant Trish Riley, who is retiring today after 32 years’ service, and looking forward to a well-deserved rest.

Trish, from Walsall, has always worked in the clerical field. When she left school, she worked for Miller Bridges Fastenings. She then joined Goscote Hospital before being redeployed to the Walsall Manor Hospital’s gynaecological ward. After this, she was appointed to her current role in the antenatal clinic.

The grandmother-of-six said: “The highlight of my career has been all the colleagues and friends I’ve met over the years. I have also really enjoyed my role. I will miss everyone so much.

“I won’t be gone for too long however because after three weeks I shall be coming back to do reduced hours.”

Team Leader – Maternity, Edwin George said: “Trish is a fab worker, always on time and always willing to help. She puts everyone first and worries about us all. She is just so great to work with and we will miss her and wish her all the best.”

During her retirement she will be spending time with her family.

Farewell Trish – enjoy your hard-earned rest!
