Goodbye Osman!
Sadly for SVB, we will soon be saying goodbye to Osman Gondal who has worked for the organisation for almost 8 years. We would just like to wish Osman all the best with his future endeavours. You truly have been a pleasure to work with and an asset to the organisation. We don't think you realise just how much of a positive impact you have had on the people you have worked with and supported. We will always remember you with warm thoughts and memories. You deserve the best! Good luck with all future endeavours
