Doreen retires after 20 years of early mornings

A woman who has spent more than twenty years keeping an Aberdeen newsroom clean has retired.

Doreen Mackay, 71, is a well-known face at Aberdeen Journals where she worked from 2am to 7am tidying up after messy reporters.

Newspapers produced from the offices include the Aberdeen Evening Express and the Aberdeen Press and Journal.

Her boss at Andron Cleaning Services, Charlie McRae, described Doreen as a model employee.

He said: “If you asked her to do something you always knew it would be done well. We won’t find anyone else like her.”
