Tell us a bit about yourself

I’m a mum of three with nine grandchildren, so life keeps me busy! I’ve been passionate about horse riding since I was young and have owned horses for years. I also enjoy gardening and have been a lifelong Liverpool supporter, with a strong love for football.

What is your role at Adlington?

I’m the Senior Sales Progressor based at Head Office, guiding our future homeowners through the legal process of buying their homes. Although my main base is head office, I regularly visit our communities to meet reservists in person, so they know who they’re speaking to throughout their journey. I keep them updated on the progress of their purchase, but sometimes I’ll call just to check in and see how they’re doing.

Many of our homeowners have led fascinating lives – some have flown planes for the RAF, worked as ski instructors, or even won Olympic medals. Moving can be a stressful time, and I do my best to help ease that stress. It’s always lovely to see them again after they’ve moved in.

What keeps you motivated and happy at work?

I began my journey at Adlington as a Sales Consultant, before being promoted to Senior Sales Consultant, and eventually stepping into my current role as Senior Sales Progressor. Adlington provides the opportunity and support to grow within the company. It’s a family-oriented business where colleagues from every area of the business all work together as a team.

Beyond the desk

What is your favourite film and song?

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café is a favourite of mine, and I’ll watch any film with Kathy Bates – she’s a fantastic actress. While I don’t have a single favourite song, I do have a love for music in general.

Best place to visit in the world?

I’ve visited Italy several times and absolutely love it – the people, the food, the wine, and the relaxed lifestyle. Venice is especially magical in the evenings, with its street cafés, chic locals enjoying wine and gelato, often with their equally stylish little lap dogs.
