Awards for local business

FIRST National Real Estate Charles L King & Co Cohuna and Barham was recognised for outstanding achievement at the national network’s General Excellence and Marketing Awards at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt recently.

The awards recognise the achievements of First National’s Victorian and Tasmanian agents throughout 2021, with winners now competing for national awards, which will be announced at the network’s annual convention in Bangkok, Thailand this May.

First National Charles L King & Co Cohuna & Barham, principal, Rohan Ibbs, said the results showed how tenaciously his staff have managed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 to continue delivering excellence for the agency’s customers.

“Nothing beats hard work and a commitment to delivering for customers. That is exactly what our staff did throughout the past 12 months,” Mr Ibbs said.

At the awards presentation, First National Charles L King & Co Cohuna and Barham staff were recognised for their individual performances.

Rosie Cimino received the Pillar award in recognition of the administrator or staff member in your office who makes an incredible difference for customers and team members alike, while Renee McIvor received the Elite Business Management Development award.
