Diana Reeves has received flowers from Hyde colleagues at Edmunds and Lund House, as well as a Cornish cream team which was delivered to her home.

The Hyde Group, which manages the property, said Diana takes huge pride in her work, with visitors commenting that Edmunds and Lund House is absolutely spotless – and that she is always adamant that any contractors working at the scheme leave it as tidy as they found it.
