What a legend! you will be missed! Shannon aka Shazza started at TEL in 2020 and since then has succeeded with amazing A levels to becoming a university student and now she has bagged an internship with NASA! What a legend! Sorry I meant Santander…

We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done! I just wished Richard was the same (just kidding Richard 🤣🤣). It’s been a fun journey working with you Shannon and here’s to a very successful career ahead! Enjoy your last day and to all customers, her favourite drink is “Espresso Martini”
