Gillian has been fantastic from start to finish. She has kept us informed throughout and really understood our situation. Emails and calls were never delayed and she always knew where our house sale was up to.
Gill proves again and again why having a dedicated Sales Co-ordination team is invaluable. We are lucky to have such a great team and we are very grateful for the review.
