Businessman's cheesecake gesture for key workers

CHEESECAKES have been delivered to a number of key workers and coronavirus frontline staff thanks to a Wick businessman.

"I wanted to boast morale – obviously they are in the face of it and it was just a wee thank you for their work at these very unsettling times," said Robert McAdie, of RM Electrical.

Robert, who lives in Newton Avenue, Wick, gifted a total of six cheesecakes – three to Caithness General Hospital, and one each to the staff at the Wick ambulance station, the Royal Mail delivery office in Green Road and Wick Medical Centre. The cakes were bought from the town's Corner Café.

Pat Niwa from Wick Medical Centre said: "We got a lovely mint cheesecake. It was absolutely beautiful – everybody was fighting over it. We really appreciated it."

Robert received appreciation on Facebook from the other recipients of the cake, with a "huge thank you" from a crew member at the ambulance station and a "massive thanks" from the estates department at the hospital.
