Thanks Mike!

Jan 25, 2023

Emanuel Whittaker spent 3 weeks on Kershaw Street fitting windows and doors.

Great Places resident, Mike was there every morning to greet us, offering tea and biscuits to the site team.

We thought he deserved a little treat, so we dropped off a box of chocolates.

He was made up!

Well deserved treat…

Jan 25, 2023

Great Places resident, Janice Cheetham, works 6 days a week as a nurse and so required several visits for us to fit her windows and repairs.

Janice was so patient and very understanding regards access issues and several times gave us very early access.

Site Manager, Phil Taylor, dropped in to see her to give her some chocolates and to thank her for her patience.

Festive fun…

Jan 24, 2023

To celebrate Christmas, instead of the usual coffee morning, Great Places residents at Pullman Close, decided to cook a full Christmas dinner and invited Resident Liaison Officer, Sarah Kershaw and Site Manager, Phil Taylor, along to join them.

We took along a box of biscuits as a thank you and it was so nice to see everyone again and to have a look at the greenhouse we made a donation towards last year.

Considerate Contractor

Jan 24, 2023

A few residents were concerned when work was announced at Rectory Green, due to their being a Memorial Garden in the communal area of flats 1 – 12.

Emanuel Whittaker always take any resident concern seriously, so some protective matting was ordered and laid to reduce the impact of foot traffic on the lawn, while scaffold was erected. Pots and shrub tubs were also temporality relocated where possible, to reduce the possibility of any damage.

This was noted by the residents who tend to the garden and have thanked us on a few occasions for our consideration.

Delightful Donation

Jan 24, 2023

With St Mary’s School neighbouring so closely to where Emanuel Whittaker are currently working at Rectory Green, the site team thought it would also be a good idea to put a hamper together as a donation for them to have as a prize at their school Christmas Fayre.

Here are St Mary’s Mrs Beck and Head Teacher Mrs Jones receiving the hamper. Mrs Jones said it was a lovely gesture and that someone would be lucky to win it at the school’s Christmas Fayre, adding that all proceeds from the Christmas Fayre are spilt 50/50 between the school and St Mary’s Church.
