The Transported Team were very sad to lose two permanent members of staff last year—Art Engagement Workers Laura Kavanagh and Frankie Wing to a dazzling new life in Paris and to a new job working with Jasmin Vardimon in Kent respectively. Simon Hollingworth also finished his consultancy position with us in October and is now working on a variety of different projects within Lincolnshire. We wish them all the best in their new positions and hope they will keep in touch! We are delighted to welcome five new members of staff on board:
