Roger Philips Retired BBC Radio Star To Host IWMD 2023 Event In Liverpool

As in last year's International Worker's Memorial Day event held in Liverpool, Roger Philips weill once again host this year's IWMD event being held at the worker's memorial on the East Plaza, George's Dock Building, Pier Head L3 1DD.

Roger is best known for his midday show on BBC Radio Merseysside, and has previously hosted many events across Merseyside.

The Gearge's Dock Building is actually on The Strand, and stands just a few yards from the old Mann Island access road which is now converted into a pedestrian way.

Speaking to John Flanagan from the Merseyside Asbestos Victims Support Group, and a member of the IWMD Merseyside organising committee, Roger Philips said:

'It's a privilege to again compere the Pier Head Ceremony. It is so important to remember those workers who have been killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work - and in doing so, to try to influence employers to ensure the health and safety of their workers now and in the future.'

The event includes a meeting and buffet with speakers being held this year at The Raquets Club Hotel on Chapel Street which is opposite the Mercure Liverpool Atlantic Tower Hotel just a few minutes walk from the memorial event, with Chapel Street being opposite the the Liver Buildings.

This year's theme and details of the event can be seen below:
