Last night I was really honoured to receive my 20 year Long Service and Good Conduct medal, after 22 years service (Covid delayed getting it earlier!). I have a lot of people to thank for supporting me throughout my career, some of which shared the night with me ❤️

It has been a huge privilege for me, being able to work closely and learn from @TWFRS_CFO over the last 4.5 years! Really sad to see him go, but he’s leaving the service in a good place and we’ve got great people taking it forward!! Good luck Chris and congratulations 👏

This time last week I was heading home from the Women in the Fire Service UK Development Weekend! I was fortunate to have been part of the instructor team delivering the multi incident workshop. My role was to mentor those interested in becoming incident commanders! What a bright future the FRS has!

Proud and privileged to be asked to speak at the Pride breakfast yesterday. It’s enormously important that all public sector organisations are inclusive places to work and in the services we provide to our local communities. We have made progress, but there is still work to do 🌈

Aww Karen Soady I can’t believe you’re retiring! From what I have seen the difference you have made is immeasurable. Thank you for all you have done for the Service, your commitment and work ethic could never be beaten! I hope you have a long and happy retirement!! Xx

Well done to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Women’s football team, who had a great game to win the final! Fantastic football throughout the day. Hopefully we’ll get even more women’s teams next year! Would be great to get entries for a men’s tournament too!! Congratulations to all involved⚽️⚽️⚽️
