Yvonne Thompson

Yvonne’s career within the property sector spans over 25 years and since joining Whitton & Laing in 2012, as Block and Estate Manager. Yvonne has gained vast knowledge in all aspects of facilities management, including relevant knowledge of Government legislation, Building Regulations, Health & Safety and Fire Safety legislation, which Yvonne had a keen interest in and brought about her decision for a career change. With the relevant knowledge and experience in Block Management and transferable skills, Whitton & Laing were in a position to offer Yvonne a role transfer within the company, which enabled Yvonne to follow her chosen career path with the benefit of continuing to work amongst her longstanding colleagues, who she also considers her friends. Yvonne felt that the opportunity to transfer roles within the same company made the transition a much smoother and happier one. Eager to learn new skills, Yvonne has since achieved BOHS and NEBOSH qualifications and holds a certificates in BOHS P402 Surveying and Sampling Strategies for Asbestos in Buildings, a NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety and National Fire Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management.
