On Friday, May 20, 2022, the HR Manager of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), Mrs Kathryn Parry, popularly referred to as Mrs Parry by staff of the company, added her name to the list of retirees who have completed their work life with GCGL.

September 2022 would be exactly 29 years since she joined GCGL as an Administrative Manager and spent the greater part of her working life till she closed that page as Human Resource Manager.

Her department held a lovely send off for her, at which they wished her well in her retirement and presented her with various parting gifts. Various speakers from different departments who were present also spoke of their encounter with the retiree, which drew a lot of laughter from her.

Very common in the speeches was Mrs Parry's regular crossing of the Graphic Road clutching files, on a daily basis from the Mirror House where her office is located, to the Headquarters to transact official business.

Present at the farewell were also family members including her husband, brothers and daughter.

As usual #Edmages was there to capture some memorable images and shares them here.

We wish Mrs Kathryn Parry a very well deserved retirement and success in all her endeavours.

It was all joy and reliving childhood and primary school days in the 1970s, when the 1978 year group and classmates from Services Primary School in Takoradi met for the second time at Afrikiko in Accra on Friday, May 6, 2022.

The meetup was essentially to touch base with a colleague domiciled in the UK who had arrived in the country for a brief visit, Yooku Sangari - popularly referred to as Doula.

Though a rainy day, few members of the group were able to make it to the rendezvous to share old times and see their colleague.

Yeah, though tiny over four decades ago, everyone who came around was now a big man or woman. Indeed the young shall grow.

#Edmages captured some of the moments and shares them here.

Ms Kate Baaba Hudson, a journalist who has been with the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) for a greater part of her work life, last Friday, May 6, 2022, proceeded on her retirement when she turned 60, after serving the company for 36 years.

Two members of the clergy from the Anglican Church, members of the Lions Club, Ghana as well as a couple of friends, joined staff of Graphic to send Baaba off, while wishing her well in her future endeavours.

We wish Ms Hudson success in all she does, after serving GCGL so dutifully and rising through the ranks  to exit as the Editor of the Junior Graphic. She also occupied positions such as the Business Page Editor, Regional Page Editor and Foreign Page Editor as well as acting Mirror Editor while with the GCGL.
