Their kindness, dedication, and care have touched so many lives over the years. Whether it was offering expert advice, a reassuring smile, or going the extra mile for every customer, they’ve truly been at the heart of our community.

Thank you for everything you’ve done — you will be greatly missed, but we wish you all the very best in this next chapter. Enjoy a well-earned retirement! From the girls at Bankton and Wallyford.

Please join us in sharing your memories and well wishes 💙

His last day working day with us will be the 31st of March.
