25 years in the profession
Jean Bell, well known to many from her 25 years in the funeral profession, retired on Thursday 29 March after a long and successful career.
Jean was with Andrew Harvey when he and Gordon Kee founded Golden Charter, and Jean then started on the path of selling and promoting Golden Charter plans. Jean left Andrew Harvey when the company was sold and moved to work in a hospice for several years. She returned to the profession to spend six years working for Anderson Maguire in a community outreach role which involved talks in the community and promoting and selling plans.
Jean then moved to J&T McColgan in Clydebank. For the last six years she has been presenting talks on funeral planning in nursing homes and at community events, and in 2016 she helped the company achieve the national Funeral Planner of the Year award.
Linda Harvie, Golden Charter Regional Sales Manager, said: “Golden Charter would like to thank Jean for her continued support of our business throughout her career. She has arranged countless funeral plans and supported many families in arranging their funeral needs in advance.”
