A SPECIAL tea party has been held at Hannahs, Ivybridge to say a big thank you to Derek Crocker and his team from Clear2See window cleaners.

Derek and his crew, a professional outfit based in Plymouth, gave up three days of their time to clean, on a voluntary basis, all the windows on the site as well as the large front canopy.

As a thank you, Hannahs’ kitchen staff baked a cake recognising Derek’s interest in motorbikes, and young people from Hannahwood and Hannahs School made thank you cards.

Derek said: ‘My daughter was born with kidney problems and when I needed help with her people very kindly came forward. It made me realise that I wanted to give something back to other young people in need, so I contacted Hannahs. I am really pleased that I was able to help in some way.’

Hannahs’ Izzy Guest said: ‘Derek has gone above and beyond supporting Hannahs at Ivybridge. He has dedicated so much of his time to improving the environment for all of the children, adults and staff at Ivybridge.

‘Derek and his team have an amazing work ethic and do not stop until the job is done correctly. Such a great guy.’
