Michael Scott

  It is with great delight that we announce that Michael Scott, currently a Verger at Salisbury Cathedral, has been appointed as the Head Verger of our Cathedral. Michael is married to Karen and they have twin 15 year old daughters. Initially Michael will move here on his own until his daughters complete their GCSE examinations but it is a delight to have them around. Michael says this: “I am very much looking forward to the challenges being Head Verger at Manchester Cathedral will offer, and I look forward to meeting you all on Sunday 8th September.” Michael will begin his employment at the cathedral on Monday September 3rd 2007 and we look forward to his expertise and enthusiasm. Michael will join Derrick, Martin and Ioan, as well as the voluntary services of Gareth to strengthen the Vergers Team.

Carol Langhorn

You may well have noticed how clean the cathedral is at this time, or, more particularly, how clean it is becoming. Since the arrival of Carol as our new Cleaner and a member of the Vergers Team, the offices sparkle, the corridors are free from debris and the toilets are pristine to mention but a few of the changes. I can hear you saying ‘at last’ and we have had to deal with some difficult times of late but it wonderful to have Carol with us and I can see nothing but a bright and clean future! Carol has a son called Kristian.
