Seven newly wed couples had CalMac employee Demi Wylie to thank for saving their big day and she's now been recognised for her efforts at the Scottish Transport Awards.

 

Demi, 23, picked up the ‘Frontline Employee of the Year’ award for her tireless work rescuing seven island weddings that were in danger of serious disruption due to ferry strikes last summer.

 

She and her team took it upon themselves to become the single liaison point for all those involved and skilfully worked with the couples to make sure their special day wasn’t derailed.

 

Demi said: "It was real surprise to get nominated and an even bigger one to have won. It really was a team effort and I'm just glad that we were all able to help out.

A wedding should be a day to remember for all the right reasons, the last thing couples need among all the other things to think about is having half the guests stranded and unable to attend.”
