Connie worked in a variety of roles before moving from Zimbabwe to the UK in 2006, including 19 years working in the Catering & Hospitality Industry.

As our Office Administrator, Connie is the central point of contact for client communication. She greets and assists clients and visitors and carry out general administrative duties.

Dealing with landlords, tenants and utility companies is often challenging, and no day is the same, so being bored is never an option.

Her top five values include honesty, flexibility, conscientiousness, to be compassionate and finally to have a sense of humour “to be able to laugh at one’s self and to turn a dark moment into sunshine”.

She enjoys spending time with my family and friends, baking, reading and taking my pooch for a walk – especially when the sun is shining.
