A Derry welding lecturer is to retire after 40 years in the job.
Gerry Burke is set to hang up his welding hood at the North West Regional College this summer.
It’s a bittersweet end to a long and committed career in which Gerry has managed to survive without a single sick day.
But after celebrating his 70th birthday last week, Gerry, one of Northern Ireland’s most skilled Fabrication and Welding lecturers, says it is time to put the feet up and let the younger ones get on with it .
