Rachael Finch pays tribute to departing Myer ambassador Jennifer Hawkins

Jennifer Hawkins has confirmed she will ‘retire’ as the face of Myer in November, following 12 years with the retail giant.

And on Tuesday, fellow Myer ambassador Rachael Finch paid tribute to her departing colleague on Instagram.

Rachael, 30, shared a throwback photo of Jennifer, 34, from one of the department store’s fashion shows, before praising her friend’s incredible work ethic.

‘Getting to work alongside this angel @jenhawkins_  has been pretty surreal,’ Rachael began her tribute. 

‘In the 10ish years I’ve known Jen I’ve been blown away at her work ethic, professionalism, kindness and loyal attitude to those close to her.’

The brunette beauty added that Jennifer’s departure ‘marks the end of an incredible era’ for the department store giant.

‘It definitely won’t be the same without you beautiful!’ Rachael cooed, before revealing she will appear with Jennifer at her final promotional events for Myer in the coming weeks. 

Jennifer and Rachel are both expected to take part in a series of in-store parades to launch the Spring 2018 season.

The first event will be held at Myer Sydney City on Thursday 23 August.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, it was reported that The Block’s Elyse Knowles, 25, had signed a $300,000 deal to ‘replace’ Jennifer, who is thought to have commanded $1 million for the same role.

The Daily Telegraph quoted a source as saying: ‘Myer just doesn’t have the money any more, which suited Jen because she is going down the lifestyle path and steering away from fashion.’

Last week, Jennifer confirmed she will be ‘retiring’ from Myer in November, saying: ‘I’ve always been very proud and extremely grateful to work with such a beautiful and iconic company’.
