Crowhurst-spring-2018

Farewells and Welcomes
One of our longest serving members
of staff (22 years), Steve Furnell, retired at
the end of last year and we said goodbye to
him during the staff Christmas party.
Steve G (pictured below presenting Steve
with his retirement gifts) writes, “Steve’s
servant heart, humour, whistling, window
cleaning and ability to give attention to all
those he encountered is remembered with
much gratitude and appreciation. We wish
him all the best for his retirement.”
Many folk echo Steve G’s sentiments —
here are just a couple of the many farewell
messages that were left for him on our
Facebook page.

“Steve, you have always been a very
special part of Crowhurst, nothing too
much trouble, always there for people
even in your dark times. We will miss
you. Many blessings for the future.”
Sandra
“Happy Retirement Steve. I shall miss
seeing you around and will miss the
way you make the best hot chocolate!”
Jenny
Gemma has replaced Steve and like
Steve, she always has a ready smile! When
not working for CCHC, Gemma enjoys
meeting friends, going to the cinema and
visiting National Trust properties.
We are very blessed with our House Team;
Every member works so hard and the office
regularly receive positive feedback.

“Everyone here contributes to the
blessing of this place; the way the
meals are served, the person who
cleans the rooms, the one who folds
the ends of the toilet roll, the way the
towels are folded — it makes you feel
special. Thank you to the house staff
and those who do the rooms.”
“The rooms and cuisine are top
quality, it is an absolute pleasure to be
looked after to such a high standard.
I’m greatly looking forward to the
luxury that is Crowhurst when I
come back this weekend. I always feel
physically, emotionally and spiritually
cosseted.”
