Saffy

J Hewit & Sons employee of the month and every month, passed peacefully.

On Friday 3rd March, Saffy passed away peacefully at home with Marius (Mo).

She never missed a day at our Livingston warehouse, eagerly coming in to work every morning with Mo. She was loved and fussed over by her Hewit family, our customers and delivery drivers. She will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace Saffy
