🎉 Wishing Kathryn a Very Happy Retirement 🎉

Today we say a fond farewell to Kathryn as she retires after five years of dedicated service with the organisation.

As PA to Miles and Executive Support to the Board and wider organisation, Kathryn has been at the heart of so much of what we do. Her professionalism, discretion, organisation, and unwavering commitment have helped keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Her support has been invaluable, and her contribution to the organisation cannot be overstated.

Beyond the office, many will know Kathryn for her enthusiasm and community spirit, whether that's singing with Rock Choir, taking part in WI activities, or simply bringing her warmth, kindness, and sense of humour to those around her.

Kathryn has been a pleasure to work with and will be sorely missed by colleagues, Board members, and partners across the organisation. While we're sad to see her go, we're delighted that she can now enjoy a well-earned retirement and spend more time doing the things she loves.

Please join us in thanking Kathryn for her outstanding contribution and wishing her every happiness, good health, and many wonderful adventures in this next chapter.

👏 Thank you, Kathryn, and enjoy your retirement! 💐❤️
