Public Relations & Marketing Award for 2009
Pygott and Crone attended the 16th annual Homesale Network conference held in Manchester, the event signalled the end of their year as the Cartus Cup holders and Earl, the company mascot along with Partner Nathan Emerson duly returned the cup.

Mr Emerson later attended the afternoon session in the main auditorium to review how Pygott & Crone has benefited during 2009 having been recognised as the Network's top UK Estate Agent. Mr Emerson commented" That he was positive being awarded the Cartus Cup had certainly helped Pygott & Crone maintain excellent business levels even though the market had been difficult."

He went on to say "That Pygott & Crone had worked hard to join the elite of the Network for many years." Nathan also travelled to Texas in America to attend the American Broker Conference in March 2009 which again proved very helpful in planning business strategy for 2009. Another factor which will prove a huge benefit to Pygott & Crone is that their marketing team, under Paul Stafford, won the Public Relations and Marketing award this year. Yelo design, as this division is known, has won some excellent contracts for marketing and web design during 2009.

Kevin Scrupps Senior Partner commented "Having our own design team and IT team has proved very beneficial not only for Pygott & Crone but also for many of our clients the added service is proving very popular especially with New Homes developers and Commercial clients." The Gala Award ceremony raised over 6,500 pounds for Help The Heroes and was another huge success for the Network.

Home Sale Network Estate Agent of the Year 2008
At the Home Sale Network's glittering black tie dinner, local estate agent Pygott & Crone was presented with the Cartus Cup at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in London. The dinner was hosted by Zilpah Hartley, former host of the TV show A Place in the Sun and regular contributor to Ideal Home magazine, 4homes and Moneywise.

The Cartus Cup is awarded to the Home Sale Network member that is judged as the 'estate agent of the year' based on their Network performance, participation and promotion, market share and referral performance.

Kevin Scrupps commented: "To have been shortlisted for the award was an honour, but to have been judged to be Home Sale Network's 'estate agent of the year' is a fantastic achievement. We are very fortunate to have a fantastic group of people working at Pygott & Crone whose hard work and commitment over the past year have made this win possible. It is a clear demonstration that the service we offer is ranked top in the Network."

Nominees for the award are judged on everything from marketing to customer care, professionalism to experience and reputation to commitment which are analysed in detail to decide the winner. Richard Tucker, Home Sale Network's managing director said: "Home Sale Network which has a national network of 700 independent estate agents is highly selective in its invitation only membership, basing its criteria on quality of service, local knowledge and professionalism. To have been nominated from the Network membership for the Cartus Cup means the nominees, in our opinion, are among the most accomplished estate agents in the country."

Pygott & Crone also won the coveted Live Conveyancing Award made to the Home Sale Network member responsible for the highest number of Live Conveyancing transactions during the last year.
