AFTER 22 years of providing help to the sick and injured in Herefordshire, Dugald Holloway has moved over the boundary into Worcestershire.

The paramedic and team leader at Leominster has been promoted locality manager at Worcester in charge of the service in that city as well as Droitwich, Evesham, Malvern and Pershore.

He is sorry to leave Leominster where he has been a life guard at the swimming pool, a member of the Boys' Brigade and had a keen interest in bowls.

He will be responsible for more than 100 ambulance personnel and some 20 ambulances covering emergency services, the high dependency unit and patients transport.
