Farewell Joan

Our longest-serving staff member has retired after 60 years service. Joan Southwell has finally signed-off from her job with The Shepherd Partnership, retiring at age 82.

Amongst Joan’s happiest memories is when she met her second husband, Andy, whilst working with the firm, who she married in 1968. Sadly he passed away in 1985 and Joan never married again.

As an integral part of today’s staff team at Shepherd Partnership, Joan will be much missed and the Directors took the whole firm out for a meal at a local restaurant to make sure she had a good send off.

New Local Rugby Team Sponsorship Deal

shepherdpartnership — Fri, 13 May 2011 11:33:17 +0000

We our proud to announce an exciting new sponsorship deal – with the Wharfedale RUFC under-12’s team. The sponsorship came at a crucial time for the team as they recently embarked on a major tour, representing Wharfedale across the north of England. Thanks to sponsorship from Shepherds and Dales Cab Company the boys looked the part in a brand new kit!

The tour kicked off with a win against Morpeth Rugby Club, closely followed by a change of venue and another victory against Berwick. The last matches of the tour took place at Tyneside Festival, where the boys played a different seven-a-side game and sadly this marked the end of their winning streak.

Overall however, the tour was a great success and a fantastic experience for everyone involved. As well as the players themselves, around 20 parents/ coaches took part in the tour, and a great time was had by all.

Adam Dutton, Director at the Shepherd Partnership comments “The boys did a great job. They looked great in the new shirts and they did Wharfedale proud. We are delighted to be able to support them.”
