Stephanie Daniell | Andrews Careers

You could have chosen anywhere. Why Andrews?

I was initially attracted to Andrews because of the history and at the first interview I was made to feel welcome and as though I was already part of a huge family. With my limited experience I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get a start on the ladder, but Andrews gave me that first step.

What do you tell people who ask what you do?

I tell people that I work in the property industry - matching people and property. I also tell them that I get to see a variety of different properties and meet a range of people.

If no two days are the same, what makes it special for you?

I love the variety my job offers. From registering applicants when my colleagues are out on appointments, to helping solve maintenance issues – my job is the most varied in the industry.

Give us your ‘Top 3’ favourite things about working for Andrews?

I am made to feel like a person, instead of just an employee
The support and guidance I have received since day one has helped me become the successful individual I am today – I will never forget where I started
Growth potential is the most important thing to me in any role. I look for good growth potential in terms of my own role within the company and especially in terms of the company's overall growth. I love working for a company that is innovative and always looking for new opportunities to expand

What’s been your biggest achievement?

In my 11 year career at Andrews, I would say that my biggest personal achievement has been bringing on board new staff and watching them grow within themselves and the company.

What’s been your biggest challenge and how did you overcome this?

The biggest challenge has been the changing market. The property market has had many ups and downs during my career, but keeping positive and keeping customer service your highest priority ensures you keep and win the business.

Tell us about the training and development.

I started my career as a Trainee Lettings Negotiator, so without the training and development given to me by Andrews, I would undoubtedly not be where I am today – a manager – running two offices.

How would you describe ‘The Spirit of Andrews’?

Unique. Due to our heritage, Andrews stands out from the other property companies. I am a great believer in helping those less fortunate than yourself and Andrews works alongside many charitable organisations. I am proud to be part of a company that pay over profits to our charitable trust which in turn are used for worthy causes.

What do you need to be successful at Andrews?

A good work ethic. You do not need to know anything about property to start your career with Andrews as all the training you need will be given as and when required.

If you knew someone who was going to apply to Andrews, what would you say to them?

Do it! Andrews are by far one of the most interesting property companies to work for. If you are prepared to give the company your commitment, then you will be looked after, and more importantly rewarded.
