Today we held a morning tea to farewell two members of our Aspire team — Katelyn Osgood, who is heading off on maternity leave to become a new mum (She is coming back though!!!), and Dan Gunston, who is trying new things.
After Lisa’s effort at morning tea this morning, she thought she better a do-over with a more appropriate speech! 😂
So, on behalf of Jim, Lisa and everyone at Aspire, we want to wish them both all the very best for the next chapter.
Katelyn, as you head off on maternity leave, we want to wish you and Dylan all the very best as you embark on your biggest adventure yet — becoming first-time parents!
This is such an exciting and special time for you both, and while we know you’re going to be absolutely amazing parents, we also know there will be plenty of new experiences, very little sleep and probably a whole new appreciation for coffee!
We’re so excited for you both and can’t wait to see you step into this new chapter together. Enjoy every precious moment, take lots of photos, soak up those newborn cuddles and don’t worry too much about what’s happening back here — we’ll do our best to keep things under control!
We’re going to miss you around Aspire, but we couldn’t be happier for you and Dylan. Wishing you both a beautiful, happy and very special time as you welcome your little boy into the world.
Good luck, Katelyn — we can’t wait to meet him! 💙
Dan, thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication and the effort you’ve put into every project during your time with Aspire.
You’ve always been someone we could rely on to get the job done, and we are especially grateful for the incredible work you put into the finishes throughout our new office. We are extremely proud of what you achieved, and it’s something we get to showcase every day to our clients, visitors and everyone who walks through our doors.
We’re genuinely going to miss having you around, but we’re excited to see what’s next for you.
Thank you for everything, Dan. We wish you all the very best for the next chapter — and hopefully we’ll still see you around from time to time!
Good luck, mate, and thanks again from all of us at Aspire!
