BRENDONCARE Alton’s general manager celebrated her 60th birthday in style, with a bit of help from the care home team.

Lynne Hewitt’s office was filled with colourful balloons, with staff keeping her occupied while others decorated the room.

She was also presented with gifts and cards from both residents and staff members, who all enjoyed a slice of birthday cake and sang ‘Happy Birthday’.

Following the celebration, Linda said: “It was a big shock but a lovely surprise to find my office filled with balloons, I couldn’t get to my desk!

“I didn’t realise my team knew it was my birthday as I always like to keep my birthdays quiet, particularly on reaching 60!”

Janet Graham, customer relations manger added: “Lynne has been working particularly hard recently and we thought she deserved a treat. She is a great leader and an inspiration to us all.

“We wish her a very happy 60th birthday and hope she enjoys celebrating with her family and friends.”
