A member of the team at the Wellington branch of Porter Dodson said: “Over the years Tracey has become a well-known and extremely well-liked member of staff and is a real face of the local community.

“Tracey’s warm personality and unwavering dedication have made her an integral part of the Porter Dodson team.
