Engineer turns lifesaver

Frank Kearney went above and beyond the call of duty recently when he rushed to the aid of an elderly woman in Bellshill, Scotland.

Our engineers get up to a lot of stuff when they’re out and about on the job. Between them they climb the equivalent of Mount Everest every day, maintaining and repairing the country’s communications network. But one, Frank Kearney, went above and beyond the call of duty recently when he spotted an elderly woman slumped in a bus shelter as he drove through Bellshill in Scotland.

Frank immediately dived out of his van and ran to help. The woman, in her 80s, wasn’t breathing so Frank carried out CPR to get her breathing again and then kept her comfortable until an ambulance arrived.

Having been a medic with the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, Frank described his heroics as “all in a day’s work”. He then got back in his van and carried on to his next appointment!

That’s the kind of guy you want sorting out your broadband connection…
