This memory book is for our beloved friend and colleague Jill Kay “everyone’s work Mum”
It’s with incredibly heavy hearts that we mark the passing of our friend and colleague Jill Kay, who we lost on 30th December after a short but very brave battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family in a room filled with love.
Jill has been a part of GDS for many years, most recently as our Head of Programme Delivery for Digital Identity and she will be sorely missed. Jill brought energy, warmth and humour to everything she did, her pragmatic, straight-talking approach united teams, and inspired others.
She’s been right at the centre of the Digital Identity programme for the past four years, always happy to lean in and proactively resolve issues as well as finding the time to nurture those around her, including our apprentices who have benefited hugely from her gentle guidance and support.
Jill will leave a big hole in DI, wider GDS and in the hearts of all the people whose lives she touched.
