Hi Carol - what an absolute privilege and pleasure it has been to work with you over the years.  Your dedication to doing your absolute best, your creativity, your ability to establish strong and deep connections with everyone you work with has been an inspiration to many and to myself.  The achievements you have had have been countless and you have made a difference to so many people that I am sure you do not realise the depth of the contribution you have made.  I have absolutely loved working with you and know that you will be very missed by all who have worked with you.  Always remember the ripple effect you have had through both the relationships you nurtured and also the content and materials you created that went truly global.  You have so much to be proud of.  Thank you for everything you have done for us and I look forward to keeping in touch and hearing how are getting on.  A true legend!

Carol, I will so miss hearing your stories of Diageo from long ago, your endless creativity and supply of goodies! You bring a positivity and enthusiasm that I know will make whatever you choose to do next (even if it is clearing the spare room!!) amazing. I hope your time in the next few weeks and months are restful and full of all the things you've not had the time to do for the last 35 years!  Lots of love and luck. Katy xxx

Carol - a wee note to thanks you for all your support and to wish you all the best in whatever adventures you choose to follow. The one thing that will always stick with me (apart from your constant cheeriness) is the amount of sweets you always had available! Confectionery sales in Scotland will no doubt fall as a result! That said - take care - enjoy what new adventures bring! Kenny

Carol for the last ( too many to mention ) years it has always been a delight and privilege to get to work with you. Supporting me as I became a manager and helping my team be the best they could be. You are someone that we all look up to and we will continue to do so as you start your new adventures. I wish you and your family all the very best and hope to hear from you soon. lots of love and of course hugs - Erin xxx

I know you're feeling super emotional about leaving Diageo (totes emosh) because it's all you've known for so long but I want you to flip it on it's head and think about all the amazing things you've done, the people you've helped, the friends you've met and the difference you've made. I hope you will look back and smile when you think of everything you've achieved and the laughs we've had. I remember the first time we met, in Ochil House (Lucy chat at the photocopier, doggo chat at the photocopier). You facilitated my Corporate Induction (yes that long ago!). You always helped me to make sense of things (when I was being a crazy person) and have an amazing ability to stay calm and give the best advice (despite me being said crazy person). Sometimes you just say nothing and that can be more powerful (note to self: must try harder). I'll miss you more than you'll know (but we'll stay in touch so i'll keep telling you) and I can't thank you enough from being the best roomie, colleague but most of all a great friend. Wishing you a happy and healthy retirement and remember life's not all bad...you've got a mini!! Big love, Gillian xxx

Carol I can't believe that this time has arrived. I remember meeting you when after I just joined the business at Kilmarnock in 2010. In such difficult circumstances you were the epitome of calm, caring, considered and uber professional. People loved attending your courses and you made them feel valued. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you, and you ability to set up 2 day HR conferences and navigate 2 HRD's through the "seemless" delivery was outstanding. You made it all look so easy, when we all know it isn't. You will be missed, but your legacy will live on :-) Very best of luck in your next adventures, you will be a star in whatever you decided to do. Keep in Touch & take care. Lorraine xx

I have truely enjoyed working with you over years and grabbing chats (and cuddles) as our paths cross. I have always found your energy, enthusiasm and passion shines through in whatever you are working on. Your eternal patience when delivering course after course and the fact you treat each group as though they are the first to receive the training is inspirational. You are always so calm and organised - am sure it is the epitome of the swan, looking serene up top while frantically juggling all the pieces to get things done in the background.
I have enjoyed all our time together and I truly wish you well for the future.
Keep in touch lady

Carol, the place will simply not be the same without you!  It has been so good to work with you over the years and you've always had real impact in anything that you do, and supported me massively.  Not only will I miss you as a colleague and friend, but I will also miss all the sweets that you've brought in to my life!  I know that we'll keep in touch, and I wish you lots of happiness in your next adventure. Lots of love...Jill x

I can't believe that you are leaving.  We have shared so many laughs over the years.  The one that makes me laugh the most of course is the return flight back from Dublin!!  What a palava!  I have been so lucky to spend time with you over the years, learn from your energy, commitment, passion, enthusiasm and of course your amazing creative flair.  I will really miss you and I know the business will not be quite the same without you.  Please stay in touch.  I wonder if your next adventure will be Lucy's manager!  I can't wait to hear.
Big hugs and sloppy kisses

Dearest Carol, I am feeling so very sad thinking about you leaving although I think I’m still in denial that it’s happening! I am struggling to find words to articulate how much you have been a very important and impactful part of my time in Diageo, a workplace which has been a better and richer place for everyone because of you. I’ll miss your smile, your energy, your creativity, your wisdom, your caring and your dear friendship. And I know that will be true for so many other people. You have been an inspiration to us all. I wish you and your family all the best in whatever the future holds for you.

I can clearly remember the first time we met - it was our HR Conference in 2016.  I was only a few weeks working for Diageo and everything was new and overwhelming.  I walked away with such a lovely impression of you and I have to say, its grown to be even better now two years on.  I love your warmth, your energy and your sense of humour.  I can honestly say that you've been a lovely colleague to work alongside. I wish you and your family every health and happiness. Well done on such a fantastic career @ Diageo Carol - From Rene

Carol I wish you well in the next step of the journey. You will be missed for your fabulous event management, your forever helpfulness and your friendly and warm smile. You really know how to make a team event special and whenever I see a sweetie trolley at a party I think of you :-)
Best of luck. Audrey xxx
