Drivers and support teams from Go North East (GNE) spent the weekend (10-13 April) in colourful clothing and fancy dress to spread Easter cheer and support their fellow key workers.
Inspired by the rainbows appearing up and down the UK, GNE staff returned praise received from NHS workers, care and retail staff for keeping them connected during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
The company also took part in the ‘clap for our carers’ activities across depots on Thursday (2 April) to show appreciation for NHS workers.
Says Managing Director at Go North East Martijn Gilbert: “It was great seeing our workforce get on board with this light-hearted initiative which helped add some much needed Easter cheer to the weekend.
“It’s amazing to see how the region has pulled together in these difficult times and if by doing things like this helps, make the situation a little more bearable we’ll continue to look at how else we can put smiles back on people’s faces.”
