The NSG Star Awards
Welcome to the NSG Star Awards, where we shine a spotlight on excellence within our vibrant sector! In 2023, we embarked on an exciting journey to celebrate the remarkable achievements of sales and marketing professionals across the UK.
It’s our pleasure to introduce you to the remarkable winners of our inaugural awards – the Bright Star, Guiding Star, and Shooting Star.
Bright Star
Gemma Garner – GECKO
On joining Gecko, Gemma was new to the SO world having come from an estate agency background. Presented with a scheme of 36 units of SO to sell, Gemma rolled up her sleeves and rose to the challenge. She quickly got to grips with SO, took ownership of her development and became a social media star using all the latest marketing tools to attract buyers. Gemma excels at customer service and testimonials from her buyers have been glowing. Our team love working with Gemma, she has such a positive attitude and as a manager I feel super proud of her!
Shooting Star
Nicola Coates – TWO RIVERS HOUSING
Nicola is a key member to our very small team. Of late we have had a number of clients with various mental health problems, which have required extra patience, understanding and hand holding throughout the sales process. This she has done with grace and patience. This has not been helped with delays on site and minor defects within each plot. Currently our sales are a 18.3% above appraised value across all schemes, which is remarkable within a flat housing market. In the past year we lost a member of our team to Cancer and Nicola stood up and took extra responsibility in managing the sales process from start to finish. I wish to nominate Nicola as a way of saying thankyou for all her efforts over the recent difficult period.
Guiding Star
Mel Toomey – HEYLO
Mel has a unique drive that is always customer-focused. Her enthusiasm for driving better business strategies and practices that ensures more FTBs and movers realise their home ownership ambitions empowers all those who are fortunate enough to work with her, resulting in a very motivated team dynamic.
