The Awards exist to celebrate the unsung heroes of the housing sector, and to highlight the incredible work carried out over the past 12 months.
Throughout the pandemic, Loreburn’s In-house Repairs Team have demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to providing an exceptional service for their tenants.
During the first few months of the pandemic, the service devoted themselves to checking on the welfare of Loreburn residents. From distributing food parcels to ensuring tenants received their medication, the team became friendly faces that could be relied upon.
Andrew Jones, Head of Service, commented: "Being nominated for this award shows the pride and commitment our team has in giving excellent tenant service.
“They regularly go above and beyond, never more so than during the Covid lockdowns and being shortlisted for the award is a great acknowledgement of the team’s efforts.”
In being shortlisted, the team are recognised for their commitment to providing a high-quality and personalised service.
Andrew continued: “Not so long ago, a Maintenance Supervisor had no hesitation in spending his own money to provide a family in need with a hot meal – his selfless act instantly turning, as our tenant rightly put, ‘a naff day into a good one’.”
Lorraine Usher, Chief Executive added further praise: “Their willingness to diversify, personalise our services and go the extra mile to support tenants is truly commendable.
"Our staff are not just doing their job, they are transforming lives day in, day out. They’re inspirational, which is why we believe they are true Housing Heroes.”
The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony on Tuesday 7 September at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
Good luck team!
