Jamie Brooks is retiring from his position as Senior Storekeeper, after a career that has seen him move from starting as a member of the presentation team in 1996, to now be one of the most experienced and respected members of the team.
1996 was a notable year, with NASA’s launch of the Mars Global Surveyor, Britain was alarmed by an outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, Dolly the Sheep became the first cloned animal, and France agreed to end nuclear testing, and the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia.
Big songs in 1996 included Earth Song by Michael Jackson, Don’t Look Back In Anger by Oasis. Big films that year were Trainspotting, The English Patient, 101 Dalmatians and Independence Day, Wannabe by the Spice Girls, Fastlove by George Michael, and How Deep Is Your Love by Take That.
Marking the occasion, Darren Roe, Managing Director of Stagecoach East, said: “Jamie is an absolute inspiration as someone who has developed their skills to become an absolutely central member of our team across the region. We will miss his friendship, his forward-thinking and his knowledge, but he has set a very solid foundation for those who follow in his very impressive footsteps.”
