Pat’s leadership and work ethic put in place the fundamentals of the steeping stones which is why the company is where it is today.

Pat’s ‘good housekeeping’ guided the business through the early days. Always paying the accounts on time along with doing the wages manually for many years. 

Pat’s leadership and work ethic put in place the fundamentals of the stepping stones which is why the company is where it is today. 

She was adored by all that worked with her, Pat was strong when it mattered, never made a fuss, just very calmly went about her business. She was always interested to hear what was going on with the business after her retirement and was immensely proud of the company. 

Pat passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 31st no fuss, no drama, the way she had lived her life.
