Keep It Clean!

Jul 12, 2023

Emanuel Whittaker have recently set up a Site Compound for a new job in Longsight for Great Places.

The site compound is suffering with fly tipping and anti social behaviour on an evening and weekend.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Neil Lancaster, decided to have a good clean up around the site.

The residents are really pleased that the area is now clean and tidy!

First Aid Provided…

Jul 12, 2023

First Aid assistance provided at Rectory Green –

Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Mick Crossan, found PNWHA resident, Michael Probert collapsed in his vehicle. An ambulance was called, by covering Site Manager, Paul Robinson, while Michael was kept warm and reassured and his head supported by Mick, Paul & Resident Liaison Officer, Garry Holt, until the ambulance arrived.

The Site Team then went on to move Michael’s van into a safe parking space, they liaised with Michael’s partner and returned the van keys to his property.

A text was received from Michael’s partner, Jackie, over the weekend which read –

“I just wanted to thank you for your help on Thursday, finding Mike in his van and ringing the ambulance. I Think you saved his life. I can’t thank you enough for moving his van too. He is still in hospital and getting the right treatment. Thank you!”

Along with another text several days later, letting us know that Mike is still in hospital awaiting a triple heart bypass!

This was followed by a visit to site by Mike’s brother, Stephen, to thank the team personally.

We are all wishing Mike a speedy recovery!

Going the extra mile

Jun 21, 2023

Pauline, Sister-In-law of resident, Lynne Miles, had drove to Rectory Green to collect Lynne and another friend to attend afternoon tea.

On arrival, Pauline’s car wouldn’t restart. Pauline informed Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager, John Millward, she was convinced it was her brand-new replacement car key & fob and that she had an older spare at home several miles away.

John kindly offered to take Pauline home and she was soon back at Rectory Green and on her way to tea.

Lynne thanked John, stating that it was very kind of him to resolve the issue and that the whole team are really nice lads.

Nothing is too much trouble!

Jun 21, 2023

Rectory Green resident, Bernard Eccleston, accidently locked himself out of his flat and popped into the Emanuel Whittaker site office, as he wasn’t sure on what to do.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Garry Holt, asked Bernard if anyone had a spare key, he confirmed his friend did, but they lived 3 miles away and that he would have to walk.

Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Mick Crossan, offered to drive Bernard and bring him back. Bernard said afterwards that he was so relieved, as he originally thought he may have to pay for a lock change.

Well done team!
