RANDALL & PAYNE NEWS

Congratulations to Ben and Nathan who have both got engaged on holiday. Here’s how and where they did it... The Audit team are popping the question all over the place!

Introducing baby Harper

Congratulations to Rosie and her husband Mike, who welcomed their first child into the world on 26 Feb 2020. Elise Harper was born by a planned caesarean section at 37 weeks weighing 7lb 8oz at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. She went home on the Saturday and then had to go back into hospital a couple of days later as she had lost weight and was jaundice. Elise had phototherapy in an incubator which was provided by Scoo-B-Doo, our charity partner. Rosie tells us that Elise is settling in well and their rescue dog, Jan, doesn’t mind her either! Sadly with the social distancing in place currently, it will be some time until she’s able to come into the office to meet us.

Ben & Millie: In Cape Verde. After dinner on the beach at Perola D’Chaves restaurant, Ben strapped a GoPro camera to his chest and went for a wander down the beach. As he got down on one knee, he got hit about waist high by an oncoming wave. Luckily he didn’t drop the ring – and she said yes!

Mental health champions

Our HR team; Jo Byrd and Clare Long, along with Justin Whithorn, our Facilities Manager, have recently become Mental Health First Aid Champions having attended a one-day course with MHFA England, a social enterprise with a vision to improve the mental health of the nation. They believe in zero stigma around mental health and that it should be openly discussed and supported. The course has given them an understanding of common mental health issues and the skills to signpost people to support. Tim encourages our people to come and chat to him or their line manager, but Jo, Clare and Justin are now able to offer further support if required.

Nathan & Emily : In Barcelona. After a drink, at 7pm they walked to The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc to see the light show which was the intended back drop for Nathan’s proposal... except he had the timings wrong and it didn’t start until 8pm! After a longer than anticipated walk around the surroundings, he got down on one knee and popped the question – thankfully she said yes!
