Meet the team – Claire Vine – Property Manager

Claire Vine – Property Manager Describe your role in one sentence at Cairn? Managing the standard of the flats and tenancy, while supporting and building relationships with the landlords and tenants. What’s the best thing about working at Cairn? The team are genuinely supportive. What is your proudest business achievement/moment? Being part of a team who kept a property business going through the covid pandemic and lockdowns when a huge percentage of tenants left overnight. What is the best piece of business advice you have been given? Taking the time to meet people face-to-face (tenants, landlords or neighbours) goes a long way. Give us an interesting fact about yourself? I qualified in massage therapy but had to give it up when I developed shoulder issues. What advice would you give your 18-year-old self? Take chances. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll survive. Who are your heroes inside or outside of business? My Mum (2-time Breast Cancer survivor). What qualities do you most admire in others? Honesty, loyalty and a good sense of humour. How do you unwind out of work? Reading, watching movies/TV shows, spending time with friends. Favourite book and film? Books, I’d say the Terry Pratchett Discworld Series (it’s hard to pick a favourite), and Movies is a tough one, probably the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Where is your favourite place in Scotland? Glasgow. It’s home.
