Everyone meet Dafydd!!!

Daf has been here longer than most the furniture, and we all know how battered that is…. 🤭
I thought it’s important you all know how much of a key part of the team ‘our Daf’ is.
During these past 18 months, the personal and professional growth we’ve seen from him as a leader and individual has been very positive. His sassy nature and his unique “excuses” make him, quite possibly the most special person to the team.
But, he does drop under the radar sometimes and thanks do go missed. So I’m taking this opportunity to THANK YOU dafydd, for your continued support, determination and dedication to The Blinkin Owl - it really means the world 😘
(Leave the ego at the door… lol)

So everyone please, a round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
