Nominated by Jeni Quince from New Plymouth: "Reece the owner of Valentine’s Valet, often helped by his Dad, mainly deals with lawns and gardens etc but he runs both a Carpet Cleaning and a Car Buffing business also - both of which he operates. He is extremely hard working, helpful and friendly and is happy to do the odd job that don’t fall into one of his usual categories. He comes to us fortnightly and we could not do without him. Our neighbours use him as do some of our friends. IF ANYONE DESERVES AN AWARD IT IS — REECE VALENTINE!"
