The finalists have been announced for the Women in Housing Awards 2019.
National contractor Kier is celebrating after five of its employees secured nominations.
Kier Housing Maintenance's Suzanne Eaglen, Head of Compliance, and Chris Power, Head of Operations Support, are recognised in the Consultant of the Year category.
Claire Gaston, Development Manager at Kier Living Eastern, will compete to win Woman of the Year - Assets/Development/Regeneration, with the division's Regional Sales and Marketing Manager Rhiannon Jones also in the running for Woman of the Year – Tenant/Customer Focus.
Kier Living South West Head of Sales, Kerry Hamer is also in the final shortlist of the Professional of the Year (Large Organisation) category.
Congratulating the finalists, David Mawson, managing director of Kier Housing Maintenance said: "We always focus on getting the very best people we can for the job and that has led to strong representation of senior women throughout the Housing Maintenance business, a fact of which I'm very proud. It's important that we don't limit ourselves when looking for future stars.
"We have lots of fantastic women in the HM business and this represents what is happening across the housing sector. Chris and Suzanne are at the forefront of this, leading the way on challenging operational and compliance matters – areas which really are essential to our success and longevity. I'm proud but not surprised that they have been recognised in this way and they are a credit to our business, to Kier and to the sector at large."
Nick Moore, managing director for Kier Living, added: "Rhiannon, Kerry and Clare have demonstrated time and time again that they are willing and able to rise to any challenge. They quickly won over the support of colleagues with their collective positivity, enthusiasm and passion for great customer service.
"They share a drive for excellence that translates to the highest levels of customer satisfaction and have made vital contributions to both our sales targets and the implementation of a new bespoke CRM system, which will revolutionise the way we do business with customers."
The winners of the 2019 Women in Housing Awards will be announced on 10 October at an awards dinner in Manchester.
