It was a real honour to work with you as my lead and learn from you on LTC. They were some very good years that I’ll always remember. The way you lead the team, particularly through covid and our Friday night drinks on Teams. You built a strong and connected team, always going out of you way to make sure we were happy. I’m sure Artur and I will always remember cleaning your desk drawers out after covid and finding your secret ‘stash’. In the old days, that may have been a bottle of whisky, but for you it was half of Tesco’s chocolate stock.

We’ll keep you in our minds through the construction of LTC and seeing some of the key elements, like the caterpillar come to realisation that you implemented into the scheme during your time. It’s a shame you cannot see it come into fruition.

Thank you, Willie, for your direction.
