So long Jeff Rees
Jeff Rees, our Operational Manager for Democratic Services, will retire on Friday after no less than 41 years and 3 months working for the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council.
Jeff joined local government as a Trainee Committee Clerk in June 1983. He has worked his way through various roles and helped ensure the smooth running of the democratic workings of the council from the age of handwritten minutes and Dictaphones to hybrid meetings and YouTube recordings.
As Operational Manager since 2018 Jeff has steered the Democratic Services and Registration team through possibly its greatest ever period of change.
He has been a great support to very many colleagues throughout his career. Whether you would like to say a fond farewell or just want to see the back of him, all colleagues are very welcome to attend a presentation this Friday (13 September) at 12:00 in the Dunraven Room (formerly the Corporate Suite) at the Civic Offices.
Colleagues are also invited to raise a glass to him in the Academy bar in Barry from 4.00pm onwards that afternoon.
