Dignity Glasgow team brave Red Weather Warning
The Dignity team in Glasgow battled into work despite the red weather warning in Scotland on Friday 2nd March in order to serve their clients and manage the Police Response.
The team had to dig their way into the hub, through 1.5 feet of snow on the ground and at times up to 4-foot snowdrifts.
Business manager, Jacqui Henderson, Funeral Manager, John Paul Kane and Senior Managers, Gerry Boyle and Ewan Henderson together with Area Manager, Johnnie Boyle, made it in and helped with the clearing operation. Gerry Boyle also became a part time AA Patrol Man as he helped rescue 3 staff cars with his Land Rover that happened to get "stuck" in the snow!

"Their efforts were nothing short of heroic and they deserve a big round of applause for their dedication."
