Over five years later, it’s time to hang up my Capita hat 🎩. This place has been amazingly challenging, and also tough. It’s given me some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows, but I wouldn’t change it. I’ve become more resilient, increased my tenacity and finally, allowed me to work with some of the most passionate and amazing people whose optimism and hope has helped bring us together to deliver some outstanding things. The breadth of opportunities and projects that you get involved in is unique and it’s a special place to be ✨ .
I can never thank my (extended) comms team - enough for their help, support, championing me (and each other) and most importantly, the banter – Kirsty Sewter, Ross Haynes, Elizabeth Lee, Hannah S., Claire Matthews, Nicole Dorskind, Alexandra Bee, Janine Kammann, Jo Wynn, Santosh Sinha, Karen Clarke, Ian Carter-Wilding – I bloody love you all and unfortunately you have me for life!
And to my EmbRACE and Black Employee Network family – Folawe Odunukan MY QUEEN, Janiv Patel, Pauline Nwawudu, Maria Whiteley, Samantha Campbell-Springer, Andrew Egbenoma, Ikenna Ekwuozor, Adebimpe Makinde, Olivier Maillard Marvin Fray Marcel De Jonghe, CMgr MCMI (and more) – keep on doing what you do and be forever outstanding – it’s making real change and I will never forget working with you.
There’s a whole heap of other people, past and present, who are life’s goodins, and I hope you know who you are.
There’s some exciting stuff in the pipeline for Capita colleagues and the Comms Team, and I can’t wait to see it all from a distance, knowing the teams who have worked hard continuing to deliver are there championing making things “better”. Kirsty Sewter are you crying yet? 🤣
It’s also the end of my love affair with outsourcing where I’ve spent my whole communications career. Outsourcing takes a lot of energy, but it gives you a unique set of skills that set you up for life (and eye bags for life).
Time for a few days off before I start the new job! Exciting times ahead. Long post over!
