As ILE celebrates its 50th anniversary, the occasion is more than a business milestone — it’s a reflection of the vision, perseverance, and community spirit that carried it through five decades. To mark the event, we sat down with Janet Lycett, whose perspective offers a deeply personal view of the company’s journey. From the earliest days of her husband’s vision to the legacy now carried forward, she shares stories, insights, and reflections that bring the company’s history to life.
