A PORTISHEAD sales advisor has received a coveted accolade.

Rebecca Gripton who lives and works in the town, beat off fierce competition to take home the national Gold Sales Advisor Award, in recognition of the exceptional work she has done at Crest Nicholson’s newest development, The Moorings, in Port Marine.

Rebecca won the award for her continued commitment to providing an outstanding level of customer service and her ability to consistently exceed sales targets, despite the difficult market conditions of the past few years.

Sandra Dixon, sales and marketing director of Crest Nicholson South West, said: “Customer care is crucial in our business, and is something which our customers really appreciate.

“This is the second year that Rebecca has been awarded this title, owing to her excellent customer service skills, drive and enthusiasm.”
