A
Fond Farewell
It
is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Helen
Dean (aged 70) on Friday 7 September.
Dean's
Shortbread owes its very existence to Helen; she first made her
home made shortbread in her kitchen to sell to raise funds for the
Huntly Pipe Band in which her husband, Bill, was Drum Major for
many years.
The
popularity of Helen's shortbread has taken the company from those
humble beginnings in Helen's kitchen to a multi-million pound business
now employing more than 140 staff.
As
a non-executive Director, Helen maintained a keen interest in the
continued development of Dean's and was particularly pleased to
see the completion of the most recent project, the new Visitor Centre.
Although
Helen's passing follows Bill Dean senior two years ago, the business
remains a family one with Bill Dean junior as Managing Director
supported by Scott Kelman as Commercial Director and Les McArthur
as Operations Director.
Helen
will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
