Eileen was a wonderful colleague and an instrumental manager. She trusted peoples judgment and trusted those around her. I will never forget working with her at Tyne Tees TV from the early days in programs and in the end setting up the SignPost unit both in City Road and Gateshead. Eileen was warm hearted and generous as a person and as a manger we will always miss her infectious personality. I for one feel very privileged to have worked and known Eileen over all those years.
