Welcome to this week's edition of The Thistleblower.
The last Thistleblower of the year. And what a year. From adjusting to a core team working from home during the first lockdown, to opening our 7th branch in September, it's been a rollercoaster. We've clapped for the NHS, explored every walk our local areas have to offer and throughout it all, hugely valued our local communities. Our photography competition back in May showcased the stunning countryside, the resilient spirit of families and individuals in our towns and villages, and proved that we are so lucky to work in and around some truly magnificent locations - for the people and community mentality, but also the privilege of some spectacular natural beauty on our doorsteps.
From all of us at Mackenzie Smith, thank you for all your support this year, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
