Team News – June 2026

Published on June 17, 2026 by Blackstone

It’s been a fairly quiet month on the team news front.

Our newest team member, Freya, started June on a high by passing her driving test. Anyone who has sat nervously beside a learner driver (or been one) will appreciate what a milestone that is. Congratulations, Freya!

We’re delighted to see that Sheneen  has now settled back into work after she underwent major knee surgery earlier this year, and is making a great recovery. It’s been a long road, involving plenty of determination, rehabilitation and patience, and it’s lovely to have her fully back in the swing of things… although she has further surgery planned later this year for her other leg.

As for Gareth, by the time many of you read this he’ll be putting the finishing touches to preparations for a four-week adventure in Thailand with his wife and two of his daughters. The itinerary involves a mixture of travelling, exploring, eating far too much good food and, no doubt, taking far too many photographs.

The rest of the team are already looking forward to the peace and quiet while he’s away. Although, if history is anything to go by, we fully expect a steady stream of emails and photos and the occasional “check in” from the other side of the world.

For anyone wondering, it will very much be business as usual while Gareth is away. The team will be here as normal, looking after clients and keeping everything running smoothly until his return.

We hope you enjoy the summer months ahead, and we’ll look forward to sharing more updates with you next time.
