December saw our first retiree and we’d like to take the opportunity to wish our formidable and ever congenial receptionist, Mrs King, all the very best for a long and happy retirement. To Mr King, who retired some years ago, we hope you enjoyed the peace and quiet and are looking forward to some busier times ahead!

In respect of the high standards that Elizabeth consistently delivered and as a mark of our appreciation, the gentlemen of GHA donned suits and ties for a rare moment of sartorial uniformity, an event unlikely to be repeated any time soon! Drinks and pizzas were served at a small farewell soiree.

The reins at reception have now been passed to our latest recruit, Jane Ewens, to whom we extend a hearty welcome… just don’t ever make us wear ties!
