Elizabeth Gibson began her career with Wallgate on 1 March 1999 in the sales department as sales co-ordinator and more specifically, soap sales co-ordinator.
She dealt with all after sales queries, soap sales, service contract renewals and processes and fielded technical questions.
During her 18 years at Wallgate, Elizabeth adopted the name of the ‘soap queen’, among both her colleagues and customers!
Managing director, Trevor Powell comments: “I have known Liz for 12 years and you won’t find anyone more dedicated to the company, her colleagues and customers.
“Her work ethic has always been the best – her colleagues have a lot to live up to and she will be sorely missed.”
Reflecting on her time at Wallgate, Elizabeth said, “I have enjoyed working here a lot – it really doesn’t feel like 18 years of my life.
“The best part of all is making life-long friends with former and current colleagues, and the many customers I have had the opportunity to work closely with over the years.
“I have had lots of memorable moments and will miss it immensely. It will feel very strange waking up and being free to choose how my day pans out.”
Although Elizabeth will miss Wallgate life, she is looking forward to retirement and hopes to spend more time travelling the world. She has a daughter, recently married, who lives in the USA and eventually hopes to move to America to be closer to her family.
