'Congratulations to the three lads for their achievements. We have an open recruitment on many roles here at the station and I hope when people read our posts on social media and come along to watch our Atlantic 85 lifeboat launch on exercise on Sunday mornings that they will be inspired to join our team and help make a difference to the community.'
