It is with great pleasure that I inform you that I was nominated by the owners of my property for this prestigious award.

Although I did not secure the top spot, I am proud to announce that I was recognized as the runner-up for the Manager of the Year award in the 2021 Mini Self Storage Manager Magazine. This achievement would not have been possible without the continuous support of my dedicated team and the trust and confidence placed in me by the property owners.
