Retired jeweller Robert is a diamond, says Renfrew boss

Cleaner Robert McLaughlin has done so well running a weekly pub quiz at The Lord of the Isles  that he has now also taken on the role of charity champion.

Robert, a retired jeweller, joined the pub in 2022 as a cleaner.

Pub manager Donna said: “I asked Robert whether he would like to host our Wednesday pub quiz – and he said yes.

“He then started helping with our craft fairs, so I promoted him to charity champion.

“He has taken the pub to new heights of fundraising and is an absolute diamond to work with.”

Robert said: “I thoroughly enjoy hosting the quizzes – and they have proven very popular with customers here.

“I also enjoy helping with the pub’s craft fairs and, as a former jeweller, enjoy seeing what is on offer.

“I sometimes bring things myself, but it’s also fascinating what other people bring.”
