SUNDERLAND RETIREES MEET BBC’S DAVID HARPER AT RETIREMENT COMMUNITY OPENING

Retirees in Sunderland had the chance to meet BBC’s David Harper last week as he officially opened the latest McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development, Herriot Gardens.

Joined by current homeowners and perspective buyers, David performed a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, kick starting the celebrations at the development on Grey Road.

Visitors were invited to a tour of the professionally styled show apartments, and served drinks and refreshments on arrival. David also provided stories and a short presentation on his life and career over the years. 

Fiona Brooks, Divisional Sales and Marketing Director at McCarthy Stone, said: “We were absolutely delighted to be able to welcome David Harper to officially open our fabulous new development in Sunderland. Our easy to maintain, luxurious apartments allow homeowners to enjoy their independence, with the added benefit of communal areas for socialising with neighbours.

“David is always a brilliant host and our homeowners and visitors seemed to really enjoy hearing his knowledge and advice.”
