ESS prepares afternoon tea for Stonehaven War Memorial rededication
Abstract
The Energy, Government & Infrastructure sector of ESS, part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, catered for 150 guests at the Stonehaven War Memorial rededication.

On hundred years on from the unveiling of the memorial on 20th May 1923,  the Stonehaven branch of the Royal British Legion Scotland (RBLS) recreated the original ceremony at the site on Black Hill which commemorates those lost in the First World War.

Military organisations, veterans, community groups, members of the public and descendants of those who fought joined the procession led by 100 pipers from Stonehaven Market Square up to the memorial.

Guests then returned to a marquee in Market Square where members of the ESS team had prepared an afternoon tea of sandwiches, quiches, savoury snacks and a selection of cakes and drinks.

Ronnie Kelman, managing director – ESS Energy, Government & Infrastructure, said: “It was a privilege to support the rededication of the Stonehaven War Memorial which is such an important landmark in the area

“We were honoured to serve the event guests after the procession and ceremony, and it was a great opportunity to bring together our office teams and site-based colleagues with members of the local community. Thank you to everyone who played their part in making the day so special.”
