Libby has been a shining example to those she has mentored over the past three years. She is now retiring and we will miss her hugely. It has been a pleasure to have her on the team and to witness the positive affect she has had working with so many young people over the years. Libby has also been a very reliable and capable member of the kitchen team for some of our large-scale events and her input has been invaluable.

Thanks for everything Libby- wishing you a very happy and well-deserved retirement!
