We’re Celebrating Multiple Wins at the Surrey Care Awards
This month, our colleague spotlight is Linda Phillips. Linda has worked for Surrey Choices for 27 years and at the end of March 2019 she will be retiring. Linda has built so many amazing relationships with our customers, colleagues, parents and carers and she will be dearly missed! We left a special message for Linda in our newsletter spotlight:
At the end of March, we are seeing Linda Philips retire from Surrey Choices. Over the past 27 years, Linda has touched the hearts of many, working at Cranstock, Camberley Community Group and now with Woking Community Group. Her dedication to ensuring that customers are supported to make the most out of their lives is phenomenal. Linda has formed great working relationships with customers, parents, and carers, she even went to the extent of supporting two individuals to get married!

May you have a relaxing new chapter ahead of you.
