Other News

This month marked a special event for Elaine Oddie and Ian Neale when they both left the Affinia family to start their planned retirement and commence a new chapter! 

Elaine and Ian founded NSO in April 2003 and have been instrumental in successfully transitioning NSO to Affinia in September 2024, for which we would like to say a huge thank you.  

 Vanessa Emens said, “it’s been a pleasure working with Elaine and Ian over this short period and appreciate the effort that they have both made, in bringing our firms together” 

We all wish them well for a long and happy retirement.
