Olivia Boston & Leyland Perree – A big shoutout to Olivia and Leyland for stepping up to support our Urenco client by adapting the learning experience to meet their needs. While there’s still work ahead, it’s been great to see such collaboration and initiative from the team. Thanks both!

From Sarah Morgan

From the Customer Success Support team

Mark Bolton – A huge thank you to Mark for his incredible support of our US-based colleagues over the past month. He’s been instrumental in keeping the Merck delivery schedule on track and even uncovered up to $10K of missed data within our systems! Your efforts have been truly invaluable. Well done, Mark!

Wendy Marceta – Wendy has been a fantastic support to her US counterpart on the Merck contract, helping clarify processes and acting as a trusted buddy through challenges. Thank you, Wendy, for your ongoing dedication and for being such a strong global team player!

From the AXA team

Thank you SO much to the AXA team for being so supportive, helpful and for making me smile everyday, I've loved working with you ladies + Craig and James for the past two years. Thanks also to Alan, Tanith, Clarisse and Rebekah for keeping my spirits up on our short stunt as a Success Team and for my fleeting visit to VM02, thanks to Becca for your patience and time & Tom for your help and understanding. Also special shout out to Edin for always being so patient and for his quick replies on Teams :).

From Eve Boswell

From the HF Germany team

Thanks to Ramsen Shamoun for representing Hemsley at the iVentiv event at Microsoft’s Cologne offices. There were productive conversations with L&D Heads from Boehringer Ingelheim, DB Schenker, Maersk, and GEA Group. And also, special thanks to associate consultant Patricia de Griese for her session on “Navigating Uncertainty.”

We’ve secured another win in the pharma sector through a Merck contact - landing a F2F workshop in Poland with Vertex Pharmaceuticals on very short notice (just one week’s lead time). Shout out to Ramsen Shamoun and Thomas Kempf for getting this to happen. The session was well-received, and Vertex has expressed strong interest in follow-up engagements.

Thank you for being so welcoming on our recent visit to the Frankfurt office. We had a great time collaborating with you and also enjoying the city. Look forward to the next one.

From Michelle, Cally and Luke.

Announcements

"Thanks HF for my volunteering day! I spent it painting a 110m2 colourful wall mural at my children’s Primary school.

My friend and I worked with the staff and the children on the school council to create a design that would feel uplifting, welcoming, and inspire imagination and open-ended play. The design outcome is a vibrant mashup of the children’s (many) great ideas for visuals and concepts that reflect their school ethos and local community.

We organised a big volunteering day where families and teachers pitched in to help paint and improve the space. The kids “helped” paint, danced, ran wild, and we all ended up covered in a rainbow of paint. We had a loads of fun... but I never want to wash a brush again for as long as I live! 40 paint caked brushes and rollers a day for 5 days, felt like more of a feat than the painting! Thanks again Hemsley, what a great opportunity!"
