Sadly, our very own Catering Manager Gail Dribben has hung up her apron and has now retired. Gail has worked for the Ashley Foundation since the charity was founded back in 1997.
As Catering Manager, it was Gail’s job to oversee the team of chef/housekeepers in preparing meals, carrying out full housekeeping duties, and also providing domestic skills training for our residents in order to help them prepare towards independent living.
We wish her all the best in her new endeavours. Good luck Gail, we will miss you, especially your great buffets!
The Ashley Foundation’s new Catering Manager is Peter Rawcliffe. Peter was chef/housekeeper at Holly House. Replacing Peter at Holly is Donna McLeod (originally a volunteer with The Ashley Foundation). We would also like to welcome back Lesley Chappell, who has now returned as chef/housekeeper at Oak House, after Claire Massam left to work with disadvantaged children.
Peter Rawcliffe
