Our huge thanks today to Sheena from J Wagstaff Funeral Directors, who was our 10 minute speaker at our breakfast this morning.

We learnt so much about Sheena and the amazing business of Wagstaff’s, that has been family run for 114 years!!!

Sheena shared her own experiences, in a profession that she has been a part of for over 30 years. At one point Sheena bought tears to many of our Chamber members eyes, as she recounted a story about a touching moment she shared with a gentleman’s widow on the day of his funeral. 🥰

If you want a truly personal experience with unrivalled support, during a very emotional time, then you will be in very good hands with J Wagstaffs. 🤩

As an extra sweet treat Julia, from The Mewes Vets Rottingdean & Peacehaven gave us each a juicy strawberry, if we started to follow her on social media. We all readily agreed. 🍓🤣
