Libby Gilchrist - 1968 to 2024

We said a final goodbye this week to our very dear friend and colleague Libby Gilchrist, who ran our Payroll department for over seven years.

Libby fought a battle against cancer for nearly two years and, throughout all her treatments, she quietly and cheerfully kept her payroll work going, taking comfort in the regularity of the processes and the contact with her clients.

Her steady positivity and resilience in the face of adversity was extraordinary and meant that many of the people she had regular conversations with were unaware of the journey she was on.

Her legacy will live on in the outstanding payroll systems she created for us and in the superb notes she wrote for pretty much anything she did; in her colour-coded spreadsheets - and the many friendships she built with her unfailing good humour and joy.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.
