On Friday 27 February 2026, we said farewell to our Dispatch Manager, Graham Pattison, who after 23.5 years with Sleeman & Hawken, decided to take early retirement.

Many of you will know Graham, who was in regular contact with all of our customers, informing them of their consignment tracking details, coordinating collections,  and carefully packing and wrapping our parcels with extreme care and diligence.

We calculated that, during his time with us, Graham had handled approximately 81,000 shipments across over 200,000 invoices!

Ben Woodcock, formerly of Goods In, has stepped up to succeed Graham. He will be supported by Wayne, another long standing member of the Warehouse Team, ensuring a smooth transition and continued expertise.  

We wish Graham a long and happy retirement. The place won’t be the same without him.
