A BROMSGROVE developer has been named 'Retirement Living Operator of the Year' at a special awards ceremony.

Churchill Retirement Living, which builds retirement developments for independent elderly people across the country, received the trophy at the RESI Awards 2017.

Churchill was selected from a strong shortlist of candidates, after it achieved record sales and an independent five-star rating for customer satisfaction.

Spencer McCarthy, chairman and chief executive officer of Churchill Retirement Living, said: “I’m extremely proud to see Churchill Retirement Living achieve yet another top industry award.

"To be recognised in this way is a real testament to the excellence of our people and our product, our superb build quality, our customer service and the way we do business. Our mission is to be the most successful housebuilder in the UK, and I can certainly say that we are on the way to achieving this.

"We’ll keep on investing in the business to build more new communities around the country where people can enjoy an active, fun and fulfilling lifestyle in their retirement.”

Now in its 6th year, the RESI Awards, organised by Property Week, aim to celebrate the residential property market and its successes of the last year.
