From Kayleigh Roach - VM02 team
"As I prepare to begin my new adventure, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each one of you on the VMO2 team. Your unwavering support, collaboration, and genuine friendship have truly made my time here something I will always cherish. I’ve learned so much from all of you—whether it was tackling challenges together, celebrating our successes, or simply sharing a laugh in the office. Every moment has been an opportunity to grow, and for that, I will forever be grateful. And, let’s not forget the SNACKS! And coffeeee, They’ve certainly made the long days a bit sweeter and are just one of the many things I’ll miss. It’s been an absolute privilege to work alongside such a talented, driven, and inspiring group of individuals. your positive energies have made a lasting impact on me, and I’m proud to have been part of this team.
Although I’m excited for the next chapter, I will always look back fondly on the experiences and cakes we’ve shared. Thank you again for everything—you’ve all made my journey here unforgettable, and I truly hope our paths cross again in the future. Wishing you all continued success and happiness. Take care, and thanks again for being amazing people!"

From Anna Trundley
Hannah Searle has acted as a mentor for our global team members. Hannah has supported learning in both Germany and the US in Supervisor Academy delivery. She has gone out of her way to ensure her colleagues have what they need to succeed.
Mark Bolton has received high praise from the virtual team. His attention to detail and approach to collaboration has been exceptional.
A big shout out to Abby Grogan! She’s already so established in her role as CDM and has taken to it with inspiring ease despite having been at HF for only just over 3 months. The way she’s coordinating the New York Life account, especially what I’ve witnessed on client calls and in our everyday working, is not only impressive but a joy to witness. She really embodies the HF values of Embracing the Adventure and Feeling Connected! She is all you could ask for in a colleague, let alone a leader, brightens my day and – seemingly – cannot be stopped.
From Alice Phillips
A big shout out to Anna Trundley! For just being the best, couldn’t want for a better manager. I always leave our interactions feeling grateful and revivified. Feeling Connected and Celebrating the Individual don’t quite do her justice.
From Alice Phillips
"Ailie MacLennan’s inspired spirit of learning is truly something to admire! She exemplifies what it means to be fully present and engaged, always bringing her energy and focus into every conversation. Her willingness to share knowledge, experiences, and insights ensures that those around her continue to grow and succeed. Beyond that, Ailie is always seeking feedback and opportunities to improve - showing a commitment to both personal and professional growth. Her dedication to learning and helping others do the same makes her an invaluable part of any team. Keep shining, Ailie!"
