Core Value Awards May 2019

We have this week celebrated the latest round of Core Value Awards here at Awdry Bailey & Douglas.


There were 3 clear winners this quarter and so the Management Team had an easy task to select the winning members of staff.  Each of them have each received a trophy and a £50.00 gift voucher.  They were (in no particular order):-

Louisa Leslie – secretary in our Royal Wootton Bassett Conveyancing Department; and 

Lisa Tugwell - secretary in our Marlborough office Conveyancing Department;

Ashley Cole – Technical support engineer in our Devizes office.

Presentations were made at our various offices this week and all three winners were recognised as having demonstrated the core values of ABD and have done so consistently throughout their time with us.

Here we share a number of the nomination testimonials and comments from other members of staff that formed a part of the nominations for Louisa, Lisa and Ashley:

Louisa Leslie 

Louisa with Partner Tim Hotchkiss.

  • Louisa is always more than helpful; nothing is ever too much trouble for her.
  • Louisa is very proactive and, whenever there is a quiet moment, will help others instead of waiting for more work to come her way from her fee earner.  
  • It is really refreshing to see someone that is eager to be busy.
  • Louisa will always go out of her way to help others and never complains about having too much work if other people are out of the office. 

Lisa Tugwell

  • Nothing is ever any trouble for Lisa and she is always on hand to help out other members of staff.  
  • Lisa is always approachable and helpful to all clients. 
  • Lisa is a great team member; nothing is too much trouble for her and she is always first to volunteer even if she is busy.
  • I always hear Lisa say “no problem” when asked to do something.

Ashley Cole 

Left: Ashley with Partners Alexander David and Tim Hotchkiss.
Right: Ashley with Technical Services Manager Richard Yeomans and Partner Tim Hotchkiss. 

  • Ashley never makes you feel like you’re being a nuisance and does what he can to solve your issues.
  • Ashley is always friendly and helpful and always willing to take time to explain things so that we understand.
  • From day one Ashley has always been friendly, approachable and willing to help.  
  • Nothing is too much trouble for Ashley.  He is very knowledgeable and has picked up our systems extremely quickly.  

We are very fortunate at ABD to have such a fantastic group of people working for us and we are grateful for all of the hard work, dedication and commitment from everyone here. It is the people in the firm that have made it a success and long may that continue.
