A port put on a show of love for the dedicated NHS staff, as the country joined in with more huge applause for the service teams.

Last night for the 8pm Clap for Carers event, the team at The Port of Tilbury, undertook a container shuffle of 137 containers to create a tribute to the NHS workers and all the other key workers keeping vital services going for us all. In total the drivers undertook around 400 moves to create the message which now greets all lorries entering the container terminal.

Paul Dale, Asset & Site Director at the Port of Tilbury said: “We wanted to recognise the important role that the NHS and all the other key workers, including our own port teams here in Tilbury and across the UK, are delivering in these challenging times. The team at the container terminal did a brilliant job shuffling the containers and it is a fitting tribute to everyone working at the frontline.”
