Helen's Retirement Card

Helen employed me 10 years ago,

when the office was known as Smart & Cook.

We went through the Bluefin rebranding,

 the sale to Marsh & the new name of Jelf. 

She was Office Manager & over the years, 

both Operations Manager & Regional Director.

While wearing many hats, she was also

a strong woman in what used to be,

very much a man's world.

What she has achieved is both admirable

& enviable, I know I could not have done her job.

When a few of us were made redundant, she managed

the situation far better than others higher up did.

As of the end of this month,

she is retiring from the business, to spend

quality time with her spouse, Chris.

I made her this card to wish her well.
