Happy retirement to Alex Watson
Friends and colleagues gathered to pay a fond farewell to Alexander Watson who retired from NHS Lanarkshire in July after a remarkable 47 years service.
The planning estimator, who was based at Law House, Carluke began his NHS career in July 1970 as an apprentice joiner based at Hartwood Hospital. In 1975, Alex progressed to the role of planner estimator with technical services.
In 1981, Alex transferred to Law Hospital, with spells at Beckford Lodge and Hartwood Hospital.
Approximately 20 years ago, Alex moved to Strathclyde Hospital, Motherwell before transferring to Roadmeetings Hospital. Alex thereafter joined PSSD at Law House where he remained until his retirement.
Alex lives in Carluke with his wife Caroline and has a son Stuart (32) and step-son Andrew (32). In his spare time he enjoys gardening and horticulture, pigeon racing and walking.
To mark his retirement, Alex has planned a holiday to Barcelona and will visit his son in Bilbao, Northern Spain.
