Legendary cockleman visiting Walsall Manor Hospital this week
Black Country cockleman Rod Murtagh will be putting a smile on people's faces at Walsall's Manor Hospital this week.
Walsall NHS Healthcare Trust is holding its Make Someone Smile Week until Friday and have enlisted the legendary seafood salesman to sell his cockles and muscles in the hospital's atrium on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the trust said: "Well Wishers is asking colleagues to consider buying a gift that they’d like to give to a deserving colleague as part of our Make Someone Smile Week.
"This may be someone in your own team who has been really supportive or may be someone who you want to show your appreciation for from another area. You may have heard about something they did that makes you feel #WalsallandProud to be their colleague. Non-clinical colleagues might just want to say thank you to frontline colleagues for example."
The spokesman added: "We’ve also managed to land quite 'a catch' for this week too.
Rod Murtagh of Murtagh Seafoods will be coming in on Wednesday, December 15 between 11am-1.30pm. He is one of the only seafood men still in this line of business."
