TWO local county council employees are among five loyal members of staff to be rewarded for their long service.
Mario Abela, who has recently retired as a social worker with the St Albans Learning Disability Team, and Sandra Wood, who lives in Wheathampstead, were thanked for their long-term commitment by county council chairman, Cllr. Bernard Lloyd.
Mario has had a long career in social work across Herts and said: "It has been a wonderful career and I have met many interesting people along the way."
Sandra's work in children's services has been similarly varied - she has held many posts including county organiser for the Young Farmers Clubs, rural officer for the Youth Service, joint leader for the county's contribution to International Youth Year and community education development officer.
She is currently strategy manager for Study Support and Out of School Hours Learning.
With their three colleagues from other parts of the county, they have together notched up 200 years of service.
