So it’s another sad but happy day for us all at T&W Leisure. After more than 50 years service our much loved Joyce is retiring. Many of you will remember Joyce from her time at Phoenix, Stirchley and more recently Langley sites.
Joyce, thank you, that is one hell of a shift and you look so well on it. You will be hugely missed. Love from us all here at Telford & Wrekin Leisure.
