Another big win for Glenhaven referrers

It pays to refer someone to a Living Choice village. Just ask Living Choice Glenhaven residents, Greg and Lesley Martin who have won the annual Sydney Gala Reward Event draw not once, but twice!

Greg and Lesley won the 2019-2020 draw after referring their friends, Bob and Gail White. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that draw was only held in April this year and Greg and Lesley were overseas at the time. This time, they were present for the 2021-2022 draw, held at Glenhaven on 21st September, having qualified for the draw after referring their friends, Heather and Mac Wyllie.

Greg and Lesley were one of two referrers left in the elimination draw to win a $5,000 UChoose Gift Card. The other referrer was fellow Glenhaven resident, Barbara Amor, who referred her long-time friend, Judy Auerswald. When Living Choice director, Ian Tregoning, offered them the opportunity to add the second prize of $200 and share $5,200, they had no hesitation in agreeing!

The Sydney Gala Reward Event was attended by referrers, Resident Ambassadors and staff members. Once again, the Glenhaven Ambassadors and staff members did everyone proud. The room was decorated in teal, purple, cerise pink and yellow and looked spectacular! The food, prepared by “Be on the Go” Catering and Essence Patisserie, was top-class and the toe-tapping music by Bernadette and Justin McCoy of Ignite Music had everyone asking for more.

At the presentation, Ian Tregoning revealed that the referral rate was 61 percent in the 2021-2022 financial year. “This is a fantastic achievement and it warms my heart. The sales consultants also do a fantastic job in converting these referrals to settlements.”

Meanwhile, Greg and Lesley have referred three other couples to the village and when they settle, they’ll be entered in future draws! Thank you to all our referrers – if you would like to become a referrer, see   Refer and Win - Living Choice Retirement Villages
