☕️ Time to spill the tea… David Westlake has announced his retirement from the role of Business Support Manager at LPV after 17 years with the organisation. For many who know David and those who don’t, his dedication and quiet determination behind the scenes has helped #TeamLPV deliver quality service and support for almost two decades. What an achievement! It is with abundant love and positivity for all future endeavours that we thank you David, for your caring soul, dedication to the fight and very naughty sense of humour. This one deserves an extra special cuppa. Read more about David’s journey here at LPV 👇 https://lnkd.in/gB5ayhMy . . . . #HIV #retirement #LPVsupport #LPVadvocate #LPVconnect
