Flying high with Hawk Conservancy Trust
It’s really lovely when a client extends an invitation to join them for
a super secret surprise celebration to thank the Hawk Conservancy
for all of their support with Festo’s Don’t Just Feed Me Chicken
workshop.
So six of us snuck in the back door where the Hawk Conservancy
team was celebrating its 50th anniversary with a superb BBQ
prepared by Feathers Restaurant. Mark Hemming of Festo hosted a
surprise quiz with the winners delving into black sacks crammed full
of ridiculous gifts. Animal impersonations from Hazel Russell of
Festo made the evening.
The event was rounded off with Gary Wyles, Festo Managing
Director presenting Jane Robertson with a certificate of
appreciation in recognition of all the help and support she has given
to Festo over the years. She also received an extra special gold
Festo pin, reserved for outstanding performers. This is the first time
it has ever been awarded to anyone outside of Festo.
And I thought I’d share a lovely thank you note from Mark after the
event.
One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these
distinctions.
Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the
other, are great things born

Dear Gary, Ronnie, Hazel, Sheena & Neil,
If we could bottle it we’d make a fortune! If we could explain it to
others we’d be wise beyond our years. So I guess we’ll just have to
make do with the memories and in the knowledge, that last night at
the Hawk Conservancy, we 6 put the ‘T’ into TEAM work and
created for all our friends at the Hawk Conservancy, something very
special. This team did GOOD!
For me, and I say this very sincerely, the best part of the whole
evening was that the 5 of you were there to share it with me! We
created a certain ‘magic’ that will live with many people for many
years to come. It would not have been what it was without the
‘person’ that is you!
This is where words now fail me, so I’m going to let J F. Kennedy say
them for me!
‘As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the
highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them’
Thank you,
Mark xxx
