On 30 January, we said a fond farewell to two highly valued members of the Falkirk team, Alasdair MacDonald and Anne Idziak, as they begin a well-earned retirement.

Between them, Alasdair and Anne have given an impressive 38 years of dedicated service to CRL. Throughout their tenure with the company, they have made a significant contribution to the Falkirk office's success and have been greatly appreciated by colleagues for their professionalism, commitment, and support. They will both be very much missed.

To mark the occasion, colleagues gathered in the meeting room for a light lunch, which provided an opportunity to share memories, express thanks, and present a collection, a farewell letter, and a goodbye cheque from CRL as a token of our appreciation.

Next week, Alasdair and Anne will be travelling to Australia and New Zealand for a three-month holiday to celebrate their retirement and to spend time with family and friends, a wonderful way to begin this new chapter of their lives.

We are sure you will join us in wishing Alasdair and Anne a long, happy, and fulfilling retirement, and every success and enjoyment in the years ahead.
