Henry & Co’s Liz Shelvey Retires After 29 Years

Henry & Co’s Bridgnorth store manager, Liz Shelvey, recently retired after 29 years.

“Liz has been an absolute star for our retail store in Bridgnorth,” stated Henry & Co’s managing director Mark Rees. “As our long serving store manager she brought so many qualities to the role.  For example, she was amazing at merchandising, had a great understanding of products and built an incredible team. Liz was also brilliant at customer service and always went over and above, buidling relationships with our customers.  She will be greatly missed from the business and by the team.”

Liz, who thanked Mark and his father Barry Rees, for their support over the years, said the colleagues she had worked with were like and extended family and that they would continue to be best friends. “We’re going to meet every year for a reunion,” she promised.

She was presented with a silver bracelet and armfuls of flowers from customers. In addition, the team from Bridgnorth gifted Liz – a keen gardener – a garden umbrella and stone planter, while other Henry & Co. stores presented her with a silver ring, flowers and wine.

Liz originally worked in the store when it was Birthdays, which then took over Clintons. When the multiple went into administration, it was bought by Penmark Cards which was recently rebranded as Henry & Co. 

Her retirement plans include spending more time with her husband, who has also retired, as well as with her family.
