Cheery John whistles his way to top manager prize 

John Cropper, Peverel Retirement House Manager at Ashdene Gardens in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, has beaten off competition from colleagues across the Midlands to be crowned House Manager of the Year 2010 by Residents in the region.

House Manager at Ashdene Gardens for four years, John is greatly loved by the Residents. 

When asked why he should win, Residents said they nominated John for Peverel Retirement’s House Manager of the Year “because of all the wonderful things he does for the Residents”. 

One said: “He’s the most helpful manager I have known and it’s a real treat to hear his cheerful whistle as he walks around the development. Once, during a 10-hour power cut he made hot drinks using a camping stove and put on a fish and chip supper. I had no doubt he would win and I’m so pleased he has been recognised for all his wonderful work.”

John adds: “Thank you to the Residents who voted for me. Their support and gratitude means the world! Their wellbeing has always been my number one priority.”

Keith Edgar, Managing Director, Peverel Retirement says: “We are extremely proud to recognise John as House Manager of the Year 2010. This is a real testament to how much he is valued by the Residents at Ashdene Gardens and we’re pleased to be able to congratulate John for all his hard work.”

Peverel Retirement, the UK’s leading manager of privately owned retirement property, has awarded six House Managers the title of House Manager of the Year in 2010. Winning House Managers were all nominated by their Residents.
