My first year in the UK wouldn't have been the same without you. You made everything easier and funnier with your easygoing personality and leadership skills! I just hope you have the same luck in your new Dubai adventure!

Thanks for being who you are :)

Joe!

It's been the best & the most amazing last 2,5 years working together with you! You have a great personality where anyone will be so lucky to have you as their colleague. You have succeeded on countless things and achieved huge appreciation in your many roles with Sainsbury's here. I have zero doubt you will be smashing in your new role in Dubai and all your future next roles wherever life carries you. You will be hugely missed here :.) Wishing you best of luck in everything!

I still remember you saying, "You are such a pleasure to work with!" at the end of my final interview for NIQ. Now, after over a year on the Retailer team, that’s exactly what I want to say to you.

At work, you’ve been focused, supportive, and resourceful. I’ve learned so much from you, especially during our time with the Sainsbury’s team. You have a great sense of humor and a straightforward communication style that I truly appreciate. You’re always encouraging those around you and readily share advice, experience, and resources to help others grow.

I’m not surprised by your decision—love transcends all, and I have no doubt you’ll excel in your new role. Wishing you all the best!

It's been a bit more than a year since I know you. You changed my life, and I feel fortunate to know someone like you!

Working with you has been one of the most exciting experiences of my life, and I want you to know that I believe in your superpower—excellence in everything, creating the best of the best environment, and being an exceptional team member.

From the very beginning, I felt like I was part of the team you have built, which has become my JS family. You cultivate a welcoming, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere every day. Your belief in everyone has inspired us to grow and strive for excellence both professionally and personally. I have learned so much from you—not just about work! :)

Thank you for everything! I have no doubt that you will succeed in Dubai and in all your future initiatives if those are on your goals list. Enjoy this new chapter in your life in Dubai!

Warmest wishes

Ana

Hey Joe,

It’s really sad to see you go, but at the same time, I’m happy to see you progressing in your career. Even though we’ve only worked together for a bit less than a year, I wanted to thank you for all this time. As you know, this is my first job in the UK, and you have made it so easy to integrate. I have learned a lot from you, not just work-related stuff, but also I think you helped me improve as a person. Your charisma, easygoing nature, and top-level professionalism have been invaluable, especially in helping me with the networking part of the business. You’ve been like a mentor to me.

Your future team in Dubai is so lucky to have you, and I wish you the very best.

Enjoy this new chapter in your life!

Hi Joe,

Wow, what a journey we've been on in the last few years! I'm really pleased that you've been able to develop and grow to such an extent in our retailer service family. We are extremely grateful for all the great qualities you have brought to the team during your time here and for the your dedication, resilience and passion you have showed along the way. I've also enjoyed our golfing rivalry - perhaps competitiveness should be in there too! Massive congratulations on the new role, hopefully this will help you continue your momentum and they are certainly lucky to have you. Best of luck and Stay in touch,

Adam

All the best in Dubai Joe, if in a year you're not driving around in a Ferrari and a G Wagon then you're doing it all wrong.

All the best,

Joe, you are "our" (UK RS) CPS/Sainsbury's guru....you're leaving such a void of expertise, knowledge and 'can do' attitude!   You will be so sorely missed by us all!!!....and on top of it....you're a GREAT Kiwi (and so is Jason!).   But you must follow your chosen path...and so please enjoy yourself and you will of course smash it in Dubai....as long as it's not a Supercar, luxury apartment, designer clothes, designer jewellery, etc...basically anything expensive!! (which is everything in Dubai!!).   Take Care!  Karl  😉👍 

# data[].attributes.body
Best wishes Joe, I hope you have a sumptuous time into your next chapter ! As they say in Arabic مع السلامة

May you find all that you are looking for in your new role! Please enjoy the sun for us who will still live in the UK...

Take care of you,

Natacha

I still remember the first day I met you in the office—I was already amazed by how much you knew! I still can’t believe the day we have to say goodbye is coming. Did you remember? Before we moved on to the new contract, I told you you’re genuinely one of the reasons I’ve considered staying - and I really meant it!! Your knowledge and expertise have been so inspiring! Role model!!

I really can’t say enough to express how much you’ll be missed! Wishing you all the best in Dubai—enjoy the new role, and don’t forget to pick up a few falcons, camels, and maybe some Lambos! Until we meet again, take care and good luck!

Joseph- what can I say but it's been an absolute pleasure. From that very first interview with you and Chris, I knew i'd be welcomed into a very lovely team (although your interview questions were tough!). Your positivity even in the hardest of times is so admirable and you always seemed so composed! Bloomin Hot Cross buns comes to mind ;)

You have been a truly great colleague and manager and I'm going to miss you a lot. The team certainly won't be the same without you :( I hope the camels appreciate you as much as we do! Georgie x

All the very best of luck in Dubai, Joe. I'm sure you'll enjoy not having to journey back and fore...

It's been a huge pleasure to work with you. I always enjoy our conversations.

I'm sure you'll be a huge success. We'll miss you very much as will your team and Sainsbury's.
