Janet retires after 17 years of service

10 December 2024

We have said a heartfelt farewell to Janet Delaney, who is retiring after an incredible 17 years of dedicated service to Willow Wood Hospice.

Janet has been an integral part of our Retail team, working across multiple shops including Droylsden, Hyde, Stalybridge, Glossop, The PAD and, most recently, our Distribution Centre (now the Clearance Outlet and Donation Centre).

Janet’s favourite role has always been sorting, where her expertise and hard work has made a huge difference to our operations.

When asked what she’ll miss most, Janet – Distribution Centre Assistant – said it will be our amazing volunteers, who have provided her with so much support over the years.

On what was her final working day on Tuesday (10th December), Janet was presented with a card, flowers and a beautiful cake courtesy of her colleagues.

Paul King, our Warehouse and Logistics Manager, shared: “Janet will be missed by so many. We can’t thank her enough for her years of dedication and service.”

We wish Janet all the best in this exciting new chapter of her life and she will always be part of the Willow Wood family.
