Tenants in Downpatrick who nominated Mr. Mason described him as a “very nice person” and someone who “always gets the work done.”

One tenant explained the maintenance officer was nominated for the award because he is “helpful, pleasant and friendly at all times,” while another said: “On the occasions he has attended my home, John was very understanding and helped with my housing needs.”

Mr. Mason said developing and building a good relationship with tenants is important for him, adding: “I was delighted to be nominated and thrilled to win the award.”
