Shirley Williams
Shirley is our deputy manager at The Farmhouse - she joined us with an incredible 30 years experience - what more could you ask for? Having risen in the ranks to Manager - in 2015 she decided to take a step back and retire, upon hearing this we convinced her that she should come and be our "bank" member of staff. We were thrilled to have such a wealth of knowledge to us. Her passion was reignited and we couldn't believe our luck when she said yes to becoming a permanent member of the team.
