Adele Roberts - Excellent Business Relationship Manager - make sure you retain her Ringleys! Just a quick note to say how well Adele performs her duties - she is a credit to the profession as is polite, professional and knowledgeable. We are a small managed estate in Peterborough with an unenvious task in respect of site management as we have a converted listed building as part of the portfolio split into apartments, a series of residential properties and a lot of greenspace, park and sustainable drainage ponds. The site has been initially very difficult to manage due to a poor handover from the Developer (issues still outstanding 5 years in), and an initial Relationship Manager who didn't necessarily have the skills that Adele does. We have come on leaps and bounds over the last 2 years and progression is now being made with a really good relationship between Adele and the Resident Directors and freeholders/leaseholders on site. Working together to get to a position where all the relevant contracts that are required are in place and monitored, the site is looking good now and working to try and resolve outstanding issues with the Developer. Adele would be a great mentor and positive role model to any new members of Ringley staring their career in Relationship Management - make sure you retain this member of staff. Estate Management is always very difficult and can be costly - working together we have managed to 'keep costs' at the lowest possible with good procurement and regular reviews of contracts - yes, the cost is still high on site but it reflects living in a site which meets statutory and legal requirements as well as being safe and looking fabulous and an asset to the community.
