Arena’s very first employee Helen Deverill is celebrating 21 years at the forefront of the business!
Helen joined the business in its infancy in August 2003, and since then has played an instrumental role in its growth and development over the last two decades. Now with the role of marketing director, she says that she “understood the vision and believed in the product from the beginning.”
For the past 21 years, Helen has consistently sought to develop her skills and expertise, making her the consultative expert that she is today.
Helen’s passion for her work and her people-centric approach have been key to her success. “I’m definitely a people person who always seeks to understand not only the marketplace but our clients. I love nothing more than doing viewings and getting to know what is important to businesses so I can tackle issues and provide solutions.”
“The fact we have retained original clients for over two decades is a testament to Arena’s consistent vision and values.”
We pride ourselves on excellent staff retention and development through nurturing its employees and development schemes. This commitment is reflected in success stories like Helen’s, through Arena’s growth over the years, her role has hugely expanded and developed in line with the size of the portfolio it is today.
This consistency of leadership has allowed us to retain our founding principles and values, which have made Arena the business that it is today.
In her role, Helen plays a large part in making time for and sharing knowledge with new employees, meaning they too can benefit from a wealth of experience and helping them to achieve their career goals just as she has done.
Despite the property industry being male-dominated, our team is made up of mostly women, redefining the narrative and proving that gender diversity is not only possible but can be a catalyst for success.
