💛 Meet Rebecca and Andrew Thompson, our new Village Managers at Warner Close.
"We are Rebecca and Andrew Thompson, and we are very pleased to meet you all and excited to be here.
Rebecca is the village manager and brings experience across both management and hospitality, having previously worked alongside Stella and Scott for more than four years as their assistant and relief manager at Riverbank Village. Andrew is the village chef manager and draws on extensive hospitality and culinary experience to provide delicious, well-balanced meals throughout the week.
In 2019, we became village managers at Riverbank Village, where we spent more than seven years building a strong sense of belonging among residents. We encouraged new friendships, supported community groups, and celebrated the connections residents built. After a well-earned rest in a warmer climate, we are refreshed and ready to begin our time at Warner Close.
We have now been in the village for about a month, and it has certainly been busy. It has been lovely getting to know the residents, their support networks and social groups, while learning the village layout, exploring the local area, and appreciating the qualities that make this place special. Andrew has been keeping everyone fed and happy, with compliments coming thick and fast, and Rebecca has been out with the gardening team, spreading mulch and shaping the ornamental pear trees along the driveway.
Anna and the team at MMACG have been wonderfully supportive and understanding as we have found our feet here.
Both of us are also excited about the recently announced expansion at Warner Close. Seeing new homes added means welcoming more people into this community, and we are grateful for the support in helping it grow.
Setting high standards for ourselves are important, so our residents can enjoy their best experience of village living, and we intend to uphold those standards over time. The support we have felt already encourages us to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones, so our residents can have every benefit that comes from a happy, welcoming community.
We are excited for the future and what it will bring."
