Dear all,
I am very much looking forward to meeting with you and welcome any questions you may have. As the new DM Manager here I am keen to maintain engagement with you and help assist you with any planning matters that you would like clarity on or information. This first session will be a welcome introduction for us to meet each other and discuss anything that you think you would like some training in, and then we can arrange further sessions accordingly. I look forward to seeing you all soon"
