“He’s is now back with the team. We missed him so much when he was furloughed. He is a very valued member of our group. We arranged for him to visit the shop on his birthday to share cake and presents. Also to explain the new social distancing rules so he would feel comfortable. He works very hard and we all love and appreciate him very much.”
