“This is an amazing surprise, and the money definitely helped when we moved into our new home,” said Thomas. “It’s great to see a business still going strong after ninety years and thanks to them we were able to add a few extra things into our new home.”

Thomas had lived in Wombwell before he purchased a Miller home. When building commenced at The Fairways, he, his wife and their two daughters aged 5 and 3, visited the development to find a home to accommodate their growing family.

The family were able to sell their existing home whilst their new one was built having reserved the property off plan.

“Hannah, at the development’s sales centre, was very helpful and guided us through the purchase process keeping us informed at each step,” said Thomas. “Now, we’re very much enjoying living in our brand-new home and look forward to creating happy memories here.”

Debbie Whittingham, Regional Sales Director, Miller Homes Yorkshire commented; “This is a lovely way to celebrate our 90thanniversary and my warmest congratulations go to Thomas and the other regional winners.
