On winning the award Carla said “I am proud to have been given this recognition. My homeowners and colleagues have put their trust in me, we lean on each other for support, and they have helped me achieve this success.”

The award submission noted that ‘Carla leads her team well and is always supportive of them to ensure they grow professionally while always delivering the highest standards of service to their homeowners. From talking to Carla, you cannot help but be impressed by her dedication, positivity, and sheer ‘can-do’ attitude: nothing is too much trouble for her.’

She has stepped up and supported our homeowners and gone above and beyond the call of duty in many instances. She is a truly valued member of our team.
