Time For Something New

from Issue 1012 - Friday 5th November 2021

Darfield Police Report

It saddens me to write that this will be my final week as part of the Malvern News family. I started working for Jan Thomas and Jan Crossley in 2015, after graduating Darfield High School the year prior. Having been here for six and a half years now (nearly a third of my life time), I felt it was time to take advantage of an opportunity that I was presented with, to work from my beautiful home in Hororata. I have formed some amazing relationships, met some fantastic people and helped serve one of the greatest communities in our district. I feel so lucky to have gained the breadth of skills and experience I have whilst working here, which will really help me in my next venture. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jan Thomas for everything! She has been more than a boss and a colleague to me, she is more like a third mother and we have a relationship that I will cherish for life. I am so sorry that I ‘quit my day job’, something Jan T made very clear that I was never allowed to do, which a lot of you will know (all in good fun of course!). Nevertheless, she has continued to be nothing but supportive and I cannot thank her enough for everything she has taught me, supported me with and helped me with over the years. I wish you all the best for the future, you can bet I will be back to annoy you as often as humanly possible! My lovely colleague Lucinda Jarvis who has become one of my closest friends. I want to thank her for being a great team mate, she is an absolute pleasure to work with and gosh do the three of us have some laughs. I hope you continue try new things without me - we discovered she hates olives and feijoas! All the best for your future at the News, I am sure we will continue to see each other on a personal level. Our gorgeous wee helper (miss personality plus) Abbi Moore, there has never been a dull moment with this bright little spark in the office. I so appreciate the help she has given me, as well as the many laughs. I cannot wait to hear how you grow over the next few years! I would also really like to thank Jan Crossley and Lois Haskett, who were both part of our team for majority of my time here. Jan C was also my boss-mum

Chevonn with nearly seven years worth of Malvern News issues that she helped produce during her time here.

until October last year. She supported and taught me a wealth of skills that I feel lucky to have. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her, we both have a very similar sense of humour, share a love of decent pens and all things that are grammatically correct. I always very much look forward to my weekly catch ups with Lois and will miss chatting with you regularly, I very much hope we bump into each other in the future. Finally, I would like to thank all of the wonderful Malvern News clients, I have very much enjoyed being able to help you all with your advertising and printing requirements, or having the odd chat. I will definitely miss seeing you all at the front desk, catch you later for now. If you see me around the area, please feel free to stop me for a chat! Chevonn Walker, Ex-Advertising Manager.

If you are thinking of selling, please give me a call for a confidential chat about what we can do for you in this hot market!
