A big thank you to Mavis, a true champion for Gorton
Read how Mavis Holt made a lasting impact during her 47 years as a One Manchester customer.
Mavis Holt moved into her home in Gorton on 20 February 1978. After nearly 47 years, she’s recently moved on to a new home, but not without leaving a lasting legacy.
Throughout her time with us, Mavis was a passionate voice for her community. She took part in countless neighbourhood inspections, clean-up days, community events, and feedback sessions, always making sure local people were heard.
She never hesitated to speak up, not just for herself, but for her neighbours too.
Thank you, Mavis
Thanks to Mavis’s proactive feedback giving and constant communication, we were able to work alongside local councillors to make positive changes within her neighbourhood.
To show our appreciation, we joined Councillors Julie Reid and John Hughes, along with Allen and Doreen Grafton, to present Mavis with a bouquet of flowers and a special engraved vase that read:
Thank you, Mavis, for everything you’ve done for your neighbours and the wider community.
