Catherine Anthony Boldeau

The Stanborough Press held its first Open Day on their premises in Grantham, since 2019 on Sunday 4 September 2022 with over 400 people in attendance.  The hosts for the event were Curtis Murphy, a former Publishing Director of the British Union Conference (BUC) and Elisabeth Sanguesa, General Manager of the Stanborough Press.   

A highlight of the event were presentations to Victor Pilmoor, former Chief Financial Officer, (5 years), Alison Jeynes (42 years) and Liz Parkinson (nearly 14 years) who retired during the lockdown, by current and former BUC Presidents, Eglan Brooks and Don McFarlane, who spoke extensively about the positive influence and work that Victor had performed not only at the Stanborough Press but Stanborough Secondary School, the South England Conference, and the British Union Conference. Anne Pilmoor, also retired as Children's Book Editor and a gift was given to Victor in her absence. 

Speaking about all four retirees, Pastor Brooks said, "God has really blessed us to have people who can work in the area where they feel most passionate."
