Wishing Bethan a Happy Retirement! 

Thursday, May 29th, 2025

After 10 years of dedication, hard work, and countless contributions, we’re proud and a little emotional to announce that Bethan is retiring.

She has been more than just a colleague— she has been a core part of our team and Bethan’s presence will be deeply missed in the office and by a large number of our clients.

We’re excited for Bethan as she embarks on this well-deserved next chapter—filled with rest, adventure, and hopefully a lot of joy.

Thank you, Bethan, for everything. You’ve left a lasting legacy, and we’ll never forget the impact you’ve had here.

Enjoy your retirement!

 Dymuno ymddeoliad hapus i Bethan! 

Ar ôl 10 mlynedd o ymroddiad, gwaith caled, a chyfraniadau di-ri, rydym yn falch ac ychydig yn emosiynol i gyhoeddi bod Bethan yn ymddeol.

Mae hi wedi bod yn fwy na chydweithiwr—mae hi wedi bod yn rhan hanfodol o’n tîm ac mae presenoldeb Bethan yn mynd i fod yn golled enfawr yn y swyddfa ac ymhlith nifer fawr o’n cleientiaid.

Rydym yn gyffrous i Bethan wrth iddi gychwyn ar pennod haeddiannol hwn.  Diolch, Bethan, am bopeth.

Mwynhewch eich ymddeoliad!
