Having worked in a construction business all his life, he loves outdoors but his favourite pass time is music.

Paddy is Trim FRC Super Caretaker who hides his cape under his Liverpool Jersey! Paddy has been with us since 2018 and knows Trim FRC inside and out. He is also a mind full of information on Trim and the people of Trim having been working as a local butcher all his life. He is second to none when it comes to cooking a big pot of chicken curry or fry for everyone in the Office. As you may have guessed already– we would be lost without him.
