Retirement: No more Mondays

The Midlands team say a heartfelt thank you to Jan Hewes

Jan Hewes has been an integral part of the CLA Midlands team for 24 years, in the role of Regional Coordinator.

Supporting all branch committees across the region and attending countless AGMs and events over the years, she recently announced that she will be retiring following the mid-year branch committee meetings.

Jan’s hard work and loyalty is well respected within the organisation, and her knowledge of members and their businesses from across the region is hard to match.

Jan has been a huge support to me since I took over the role of Regional Director two and a half years ago, but her reputation as a knowledgeable, kind and professional Regional Coordinator was well known to me in my previous role as Access Adviser and even before I joined the organisation. I would like to thank Jan for her support and dedication to members, colleagues and to me personally, and wish her the very best in her retirement.

Sophie Dwerryhouse, CLA Midlands Regional Director
