We are pleased to be able to announce that we have a new Caretaker starting work on Monday the 16th of November.  We canvassed the views of many residents and took your views into account before making the appointment.

Oscar Rivera is taking up the role and will be working from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday and has a 3 month probationary period with a contract that runs for 12 months only.

Oscar is an experienced Estate Operative with direct experience of working in a large residential development.  He’s a very proactive person, has developed good external cleaning and basic maintenance tasks.  Good IT skills, very flexible, proactive and customer service orientated.

I hope that you will join us in welcoming Oscar on board and will offer him all the help he needs whilst he finds his feet at Regatta Point.

Neil dismissed

To All Residents,

The Directors of Regatta Point are sorry to have to inform you that, with immediate effect, Neil has been dismissed from his position as caretaker at Regatta Point for financial irregularities associated with his position.

Due to the Data Protection Act we cannot divulge any information in regard to the matter and kindly request that you do not ask HML Shaw or the Directors for any further information as we are unable to provide it.

In the meantime, we have a temporary caretaker, Mohammed Abdelaziz, who will carry out most of Neil’s duties, although he does not have access to residents’ keys.
He will be on site  8am to midday weekdays, except for Tuesday, when he will be there 11am-3pm due to a previous commitments.

As soon as the Directors have determined the best way forward we will let you all know.

Regards,
The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited.

Neil on leave of absence

Please be advised that our caretaker Neil is current on a leave of absence and we have, therefore, arranged a temporary caretaker to take over his role as of today.

His name is Mohamed Abdelaziz and he will be on site from 8am-12pm Monday to Friday.

Please note Mohamed does not have access to the key storage at Regatta Point so if you require anyone to collect keys this will not be possible in the interim and you will need to make alternative arrangements and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Mohamed will continue to take parcels etc. and he can be contacted on the usual numbers of 07957 355 018 & 020 8568 5432 should you require his assistance.

Yours Sincerely,
Lyndsey

Walk & Talk

Leave a Reply

It is one of the pleasures of being a Director of Regatta Point that once a month we walk around the whole complex with our caretaker, Neil, in order to see for ourselves the state of the building close-up and to talk about any issues that we find.  We call this a Walk & Talk.  It allows us some quality time with Neil and to get into all the nooks and crannies of RP.

The Directors would like as many residents as possible to see the building from top to bottom for themselves and to get to see the Directors and Caretaker at work.

The next Walk & Talk is on Thursday the 13th of August at 09:00 in the lobby.  If you would like to join us – two places are to be provided on a first come first served basis and they are reserved by emailing webadmin@regattapoint.co.uk

We hope to see you there.
