Have you met Therese Botha?

Once a month we’re going to be introducing you to a member of the Icon Villas team.

These are the people who make it all happen!

Instead of cutting and pasting from a normal biography we’ve decided to put together something that give you a more of a personal insight into each team member.

This month we’d like to introduce you to our fearless, but always delightful, leader: Therese Botha.
