Globe-Trotting Gillian Returns to her Roots
Gillian Sosa has lived in exotic locations all over the world but the adventurous mum of six, has now returned to her Scottish roots.
And while she is busy making a new life for herself in Peebles she is also helping customers find their own forever home at our Shawfair development in Dalkeith having previously worked on our St Margaret’s development.
Gillian said: “I am so very proud to be working with Robertson Homes – Scotland’s Housebuilder of the Year. The properties are absolutely fantastic with every last detail considered and it is a joy helping customers find their own perfect place to call home.
“I love getting to know them and hearing about their lives and I know how much the right home can influence your lifestyle.”
She has worked as a model in Munich, launched an award-winning NGO, Teach to Fish, in Zambia, worked with young adults in Gabon, central Africa, ran a youth employment programme with Raith Rovers FC and sold fine art for several UK galleries before diverting all her skills into property.
And the people skills and experience acquired during her travels and varied work life are also being put to good use.
Gillian said: “I truly believe that it is down to individuals to make things happen and sometimes all you need to do is say ‘Yes’!
“I spent a year in Mozambique where my daughter had her baby – my first grandchild - and when I came back to Scotland I wanted a role that kept me connected with people and that was different every day.
“I so enjoy hearing people’s stories, and helping them find the perfect new home is a privilege.
“I have loved travelling the world and experiencing different places and cultures, but there really is no place like home.”
