Six staff members of Waterfords, based in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, have just returned from a day trip to Lille in France – a reward for their strong performances.

They travelled on Eurostar to Lille whilst enjoying a champagne breakfast.

Lille is renowned for is architecture which has strong Flemish influences so upon arrival everyone took the time to have a look around the historic town before heading off to the La Tête de Boeuf restaurant which is located in the centre of Lille for a  steak lunch.

Following lunch there was a bit more free time to spend taking in the local culture and atmosphere, and wandering round the shops. Once back in London, everyone made a quick dash to the famous champagne bar at St Pancras International for a few more celebratory drinks.

Winners of the day trip to Lille were: Julian Amos (Sunningdale branch manager), Kier Preece (Yateley branch manager), James Ewart (Yateley office), Penny Quinn (lettings administrator), Sarah Farrington (Chobham office) and Dexter Ludeman (Camberley office).

Past trips for Waterfords’ best achievers have included a day to the Henley Regatta, plus  overseas holidays to Abu Dhabi, New York, Las Vegas and Iceland.
