Team news

This month we bid farewell to Anna Carter-Windle, HR Systems Team Lead – Training and Support. Anna has been a huge asset to our team over the past few years, and I'm sure those who have received support and training from Anna will agree that she will be greatly missed. We wish Anna all the best in the future.

We are in the process of recruiting a new member of the HR Systems Support team and hope to share further news with you in the new year.
