  • Becky regularly goes beyond the call of duty.  
  • She takes great pride in her work and is an immensely integral part of the team here in Chippenham. 
  • Always willing to go above and beyond to assist, has a “can do” attitude and undertakes all tasks with a smile.
  • At all times a great influence on the office and an asset to the firm. 
  • Firstly, her singing!!
  • She is so helpful and I never worry about asking as I know she won’t mind and will do her best to assist if I have queries or problems.  It doesn’t matter if she is really busy, she will still help.

  • Her organisational skills are very good and if she perceives a problem (for example with IT) she is proactive in being the person to resolve it. 
  • Her work ethic really is unparalleled.  
  • Her attention to detail is absolutely superb and she works incredibly well under what can often be intense pressure.
