A SALES advisor at a Keighley housing scheme has won a prestigious prize.

Geeta Solanki, based at the Vision development in Braithwaite, has been named Sales Advisor of the Year by Barratt Homes Yorkshire West.

She now goes forward to national finals.

"It's a huge accolade to have won the divisional award and everyone within our site is very proud," she said.

"It is a joy to be part of the hard-working team at Vision and to have been recognised in this way is a huge thrill.

"We've successfully integrated into the thriving community here in Keighley, which is something we strive to achieve with all our sites."

Sam Wood, a sales director at Barratt, pays tribute.

"The sales advisor plays a pivotal role in being the first point of contact when a house hunter visits our homes so it's crucial that they provide a friendly face and impeccable customer service skills," she said.

"During her time at Vision, Geeta has demonstrated an impeccable work ethic and this award is very well deserved."
