PRIDE OF WORKMANSHIP AWARD PRESENTATION
Terry Hubbard read a testimonial given by workmates of Estter Ostrizkova and the fact that she was originally from Hungary. She commenced work at Flowerdale Estate in 2017.
Ester has gained several qualifications in health and wellbeing and encourages everyone to be the best version of themselves. She is keen to unite and encourage people to come to-gether in a healthy environment and has been a key volunteer in cleaning up roadsides in and around Flowerdale Estate.
Julie wrote
Ester sounds like a great community minded person whose contribution to Flowerdale Estate and the local community was greatly appreciated - she will definitely be missed as she is about to set up her own business in Torquay. Flowerdale Estate’s loss is another communi-ty’s gain!
President Paul congratulated Ester and also Peter and Maria Neville from Flowerdale Estate.
