So I noticed on Linkedin that Simon Lee and Rick Jagodynski had retired. I met both of them in Macclefield as part of the ERP team.
Above all, we spent many weeks with Simon, building something we believed in. I personally consider him an icon of my life at Bodycote, someone who was always great to work with, but who never lost any of his true English humour. And when I left in 2018, I received a farewell poem from him. I still keep it to this day, because who would be lucky enough to have someone write poems about their work at work? Simon and Rick, many wonderful times in our Bodycote veterans’ club. I miss you very much.
I tried to translate it into Czech, but Google probably can’t handle poems very well. …
