ONE of two duty managers, Linda first worked behind the bar at the Spa when she was 21 and is now duty manager responsible for the smooth running of the building.

If there is a problem, and she is on duty then she is the one they call.

"It is great to see it finished, it is wonderful and I can't wait to see it all working. It will be good to see many of the friends and regulars we used to get before," said Linda.

She enjoys working with the Spa team and her two children are now part of it.

Kevin, 20, is working as a casual staff member in the bar and catering and Leanne, 16, who had been at Leisure World, has joined the catering team.

"I love working here, every day brings something different," said Linda. "There is such a lot of interest in it in the town and we have had some customers who have come to see the conference facilities and they have been very impressed," she said.
