A LOVELY send-off was given to Bet Frost when she retired from the Crediton office of Gilbert Stephens Solicitors.

Bet started working for Symes Robinson Lee before moving to Gilbert Stephens in 1999.

After almost 18 years she decided that she was ready to retire.

Her last day was Wednesday, June 28 when she was given a lovely send-off by colleagues who organised a surprise lunch.

Clare Trevelyan-Thomas (Partner) thanked her for all her hard work and presented her with flowers, a plant and a gift voucher for a jewellery store where she has her eye on a rather nice bracelet!

She will be missed by everyone, but they all agreed that "after all these years she finally deserves to put her feet up and relax.”
