Well done to Sean on his appointment. I’m sure he will do a fantastic job. He’s amazing and a very loyal person with a great deal of integrity. I’ve had the privilege of knowing him for many years and he is the consummate professional in all he does. Wishing him every success for the future and may he always rise to the challenge that he transforms into inspiration for the rest of us.
