I was in charge of the central fire station in 1989 and the division a few years later…Birmingham was an amazing city and its diversity was its strength. So sad to see this….story from The Times: Can Birmingham beat the constant bashing?. https://t.co/9jkY6MLVWR

Full day today ⁦@WHHNHS⁩ …great visit to theatres at Halton, then an amazing and humbling patient story before two board meetings and a third meeting with NED colleagues. In the words of Peter Kay, ‘I’ll sleep tonight…’ Great day though 👏🏻

I always loved the bit in Gavin and Stacey where John Prescott arrives at Ness and Dave’s wedding.

Today we lost the legend of the UK and global fire service. Paul Grimwood has been a great author, mentor and educator. He was always on hand to answer questions and explain scientific concepts. He transformed the UK fire service and we will continue this work in his memory. RIP

Looking forward to spending time with colleagues ⁦@WHHNHS⁩ Inclusion Masterclass in support of Exclusion Week
