‘Selfless’ worker set to leave chemist shop
COLLEAGUES past and present have saluted a “selfless” shop worker who has been a familiar and friendly face at a town’s chemist for more than two decades.
Christine Ford has worked for Cohens previously Espleys - for more than 20 years, putting her heart and soul into everything she does.
Colleagues testified that her customers always come first.
Christine, 73, who used to work at a clothes shop nearby, will leave the pharmacy on Manchester Road, Haslingden, on Friday, November 26.
Her old manager Shilpa Patel said: “Christine is such a remarkable lady, I’ve never quite met anyone like her.
“She is selfless and so kind - it’s such a pleasure to have been able to work with her.”
Work colleague Lucy
Ross said: “Christine is one of life’s true diamonds with a kind heart and loving soul. She’s been at the forefront of the pharmacy for many years, always with a smile and sympathetic ear. She will be sorely missed.”
Pharmacy assistant Vicki Ashman described Christine as “a true diamond”. She added: “Christine is truly going to be missed by so many after 20 years’ service with the company. She is an absolute star and has been a pleasure to work with - I will definitely miss her.”
