Directors Reflectionsย & Lifetimeย Achievement Awards!
Fuze Directorsย Anne Widdop, Morag Webster and Lauraย Widdopย reflected back on the first 10 years of Fuze and shared their passion and commitment for the next 10 and beyond.
Laura said;ย “We would never have been able to picture this successful journeyย without our wonderful team, family and friends. Anne, Morag and I valueย everyone who is here to share this special evening with us.ย An extra special thanks to everyone that has helped put tonight togetherย and to our fantastic sponsors.”
Morag noted;ย “Fuze has certainly covered a long and evolutionaryย journey since the beginning, you just need to look around the room tonight to seeย that.ย We started with a million dreams, hopes and immense enthusiasm andย even after 10 years nothing has changed, except the fact that we haveย made our dreams a reality and have new ones now to go after.”
Anne explained;ย “Turning back to our wonderful team, and even thoughย we have already recognised the amazing work our teamย does with 8 awards, we felt it would be fitting toย recognise another twoย Celebrants who have been on the Fuze journeyย right from the start.ย They have been massive supportersย and advocates of Fuze in a variety of guises.”
Anne added;ย “Between them they have conducted 1000’s of ceremonies and have touched and enriched the lives ofย so many others through their work as Celebrants. Theirย passion in their roles is very clear and they have been aย great support sharing their experiences and wealth ofย knowledge, earning the respect of their peers and haveย become role models to some of our newer members.
It means so much to recogniseย Gillian Phillipsย andย George Smithย tonight with the
Fuze Lifetime Achievement Award.”

The Party and the Dancing!

George McLean,ย Fuze Brand Ambassador conclude by saying;
“I’m immensely proud of what we have collectively achieved, the memories we have created together, the charity fundraising monies we have secured and the exciting future we all have ahead of us.
