Mathew Le Seelleur was presented with his award and prize by The Director of Lands & Survey, Alan Jones: “Mathew has worked tirelessly during the last year during which the Valuation & Estates Office has been carrying a very high workload whilst at the same time being down on their establishment levels. His integrity, professionalism and friendly demeanor have really stood out and he has been an example to all employees. He is a worthy winner of the award and I thank him for all his efforts on behalf of the department”.
