After nearly two decades with the company, we are saying a fond farewell to Colette Hawkes as she begins her well-deserved retirement.

Colette has been a key part of the team for almost 20 years, bringing dedication, professionalism and an unmistakable presence to the accounts department. Over the years she has built strong relationships with both colleagues and customers, becoming one of the most recognisable faces in the business.

Among our customers, Colette is affectionately known as the “Rottweiler” a nickname earned through her ability to chase outstanding payments and keep accounts running smoothly. While the name is given with a smile, it reflects the respect people have for the way she gets the job done.

Beyond her role, Colette has always brought a sense of style, commitment and reliability to the workplace. Her attention to detail and the pride she takes in her work have set a high standard, making her a valued and trusted member of the team.

There are few people in the company who haven’t worked with Colette or benefitted from her knowledge and support over the years. Her contribution has played an important part in the smooth running and success of the business.

As Colette prepares to begin her next chapter, we would like to thank her for everything she has brought to the company over the past 20 years. She will be greatly missed and will certainly be a tough act to follow.

From everyone here, we wish Colette a very happy and relaxing retirement.
