The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Marie Shevas, formerly of Moorelands Travel, on her retirement after working for 50 years within the travel industry; recognises that Marie has been at the helm of Moorelands Travel since 2002, having set up shop in Cowdenbeath High Street as she became Barrhead Travel's first franchisee; further recognises that Marie was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2021 for her charity work, which, it understands, has seen her raise over £800,000 for good causes; notes that Scott Paterson has taken over at the helm of Moorelands Travel since Marie's retirement; understands that Marie is looking forward to having more time to spend with her family in retirement, and wishes Marie and her family all the best going forward.
