Julie, I only met you briefly, having only recently moved up to Scotland, but you were incredibly kind and went out of your way to help support me and make me feel welcome. It was a small act of kindness that made a big difference to me, thank you. Cathy…

When thinking of Julie I always picture her with her bright smile and loving nature. I had the pleasure of working more closely with Julie when she became my manager last year, after years of working in LCGA together. Catching up with Julie was always a pleasure. I can still hear her infectious chuckle when we was discussing snacking and diet/exercise and her encouragement to not give up, we would then go on to tourture ourselves about all the nice things we like to eat but shouldnt. Work wise Julie was a great manager and she always looked out for us. Julie really supported me and wasnt scared to rock the boat to say what she truly believed. She was a great person and she will very much be missed. Very sorry for your loss and love to her family who I know she truly cherished x …

Julie was an extremely kind, caring and funny friend to me over the past 7 years. We started working in the office within months of each other and she really was the source of all knowledge and guidance! I could never just walk past her desk – it would always end up a ‘quick’ catch up over TV, cats or the daily drama at her gym class. We had the best time at the Christmas party, ending with some questionnable dancing to ABBA, and I am so grateful to have spent time with her then. She had such a positive impact on the lives of anyone who knew her – my time at GT really wouldn’t have been the same without her. She will be so missed by us all and I am sending all of my love to her family and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss x…

Whilst I sadly never had the opportunity to meet Julie in person, it was such a pleasure working with her over Teams or email, as she was always so positive, kind and helpful.  I remember her telling me last summer that she was heading off to Sorrento and planned on wafting around pretending to be Audrey Hepburn with a glass of wine in hand and watching the world go by – she painted such a beautiful picture, which has stayed with me, and I think this is how I will always remember her.  Rest in peace, Julie.  You will always be missed, and remembered with much love. Jo xx…

Julie had just recently become a part of our team, and while I hadn’t worked with her loads, when I had, she was nothing but lovely, considerate, thoughtful and helpful. I do remember when arranging our team’s annual Christmas party, I had of course invited her, and she declined because she was putting her nearest and dearest first. In that moment, I remember thinking that while work matters, this is a lady who clearly knows what’s most important in life! Condolences to all who loved her most dearly. …

I can only echo what other colleagues at Grant Thornton have said about Julie. I never worked directly with Julie, but we talked whenever she was in the office. Her desk was near the entrance to the staff kitchen so I would often stop for a chat in the morning or at lunchtime on my way past. She would be telling me what she was up to which often seemed to be doing something for someone other than herself. I’d be in working at weekends and it wasn’t uncommon that she would be in herself which just shows the level of dedication she had to her role. I will always remember the period during covid, when we were finally allowed back into the office. I couldn’t wait to get back, as I live myself and it had been a very isolating period for me being stuck at home. There would only be 4 or 5 of us in the office at this point. Julie would be in some days and always took the time to come and see how I was doing, check in and spend some time chatting with me. We always laughed about how peaceful it was…

Julie and I started working at the GT around the same time. During my time in Glasgow, we would often chat and catch up on everything from what we’d done at the weekend to Julie telling us about the fitness and kettlebell classes she instructed. I recall when lockdown was announced, I went to collect a computer screen from the office and remember speaking to Julie, she was all worried about the milk that had been delivered that morning and didn’t know what to do with it as she didn’t want it going off while nobody was in the office. She told me to go get my bag and proceed to pack about 5 pints into it, that really made us laugh – the world was turning upside down but at least we have enough milk to see us through it. I also recall my last day working in Glasgow before moving to work in another GT office, Julie came in on her day off just to wish me good luck and say goodbye. She kept in touch after I moved, and I always looked forward to having a catch up with her whenever I worked in Glasgow again….

I feel blessed to have got to know Julie over these past couple of years.  I sadly never met her in person, but thank goodness for Teams, otherwise I would never have seen her beaming smile.  Our conversations would invariably go off on a tangent, often talking about good single malts!, before realising where the time had gone and had to get back to serious work!  Julie was a beautiful, caring person who will be deeply missed by me and all those who were fortunate to have had Julie in their lives.  My thoughts and sincere condolences go to Julie’s family and friends.  Rest in peace Julie xxx…

Julie without a doubt was one of the loveliest, most caring and understanding managers I could have asked for. In our catch ups she would always be so happy, kind and understanding which was such a support to me. To Julie’s family I am so so sorry for your loss. Your happiness and kindness will always be remembered, rest in peace Julie xxxx  …

It was a privilege to know Julie.  I worked with her for 5 years and only met a handful of time but when she saw you, you were always welcomed with that infectious smile.  She was very committed to her work and will be greatly missed.  My thoughts and sincere condolences to her family….

Julie was a lovely bubbly person whom we were blessed to know, the whole of the LC team will miss her dearly, sending condolences to her family and friends, x…

I never got the chance to meet Julie in person but she was always a delight to speak to and always so helpful and lovely over the phone, plus always managed to make us laugh too! She’ll be greatly missed and was a beautiful soul. Love and light to her family, friends and dear Scotland girls at this sad time but I hope they know how loved Julie is. x…

I sadly also never got to meet Julie, but I felt like I ‘knew’ her from our emails.  She was always so friendly and super-helpful – she just came across as a lovely person!     My thoughts and sincere condolences to her family. May she rest in peace. X…

It was an absolute pleasure to know Julie.  She had such a fun, bubbly, and energetic character… always making me laugh.!  She was committed to her work and always offered help and advice.  We had a mutual love for Sorrento, and we often enjoyed talking about our trips there.  My thoughts are with her family who she always spoke so fondly of.  Is it such a loss and she will be greatly missed but always remembered….

Julie was so supportive through the few years we worked together. Her friendliness and kindness always shone through, and I don’t think I ever had an interaction with Julie where she didn’t make me laugh. I miss our weekly catchups and the sharing of stories – Julie always spoke so fondly of her family and friends and whilst we only met once in person, I felt I knew Julie well. To Julie’s family and friends, I’m so sorry for your loss. Julie will be missed by so many, and we will never forget her kind and fun spirit. Rest in Peace Julie, forever in our thoughts x…
