Bloc Blinds in Magherafelt is going into production of safety masks for hospital workers on Monday.
The company has a prototype + the production line can produce 22,000 of these a day
Delighted to say I will be taking over a new role as Business Correspondent at BBC NI. Looking forward to a new challenge (and getting to lie in until 7am)☺️
A good deal for hard Brexiteers. A bad deal for advocates of a soft Brexit and Remainers. Significantly worse for the NI economy than May's deal. More bureaucracy, red tape & complexity. Adding to the costs of doing business. NI to become a spectator on any UK trade deals?
Nine years ago today I started in BBC NI, today is my last day for a few weeks as I’m taking some time off to go get married👰🏻♀️
Also have work to thank as how I met my husband-to-be💍#whencoworkerstietheknot#outofofficeison
Some personal news🤰🏻
A big thank you to my lovely colleagues for the send off on my last day before maternity leave🍼
Next month I will have a different job (with a tiny boss) but hoping years of early breakfast shifts will help prepare me for what is coming next - a BBC baby👶🏻
