Community Champion of the Year
We’re delighted to announce that we have received the Community Champion of the Year gold award at this years Negotiator Awards, in addition to our silver award in the Estate Agency of the Year (Medium) category.
The ceremony was held at The Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in Mayfair, London, which gave a very warm welcome to over 1000 guests from every corner of the UK on Friday 26th November. Sadly 2020 saw the Covid-related postponement of the Awards, but this year the event returned – stronger than ever. Proudly supported by Under the Hammer, Kerfuffle and a wider group of category sponsors, The Negotiator Awards is the leading awards programme for estate and letting agents in the UK and their suppliers.
This year saw a record entry to the Awards, which is astonishing against the pandemic backdrop. The entries too were of particularly high standard this year with outstanding efforts in the bigger classes, and the quality and stories within the Community Champion category and the newly created Sustainability category really demonstrate that this is an industry that thinks bigger and considers their impact and how they can benefit the people and places around them.
Hosted by TV presenter, comedian and celebrity, Rob Beckett, a total of 33 categories were awarded, with trophies and commendations handed to 77 agencies and suppliers. Rob was joined on stage by The Negotiator Publishing Director, Grant Leonard. Whether winners or runners-up, The Negotiator Awards, once again, lived up to its reputation of the Property Party of the Year.
Our director Kevin Scrupps was delighted to receive the award on stage. He said “as a company we don’t do charity for any other reason than to assist and support those in need within our local communities. It’s really rewarding to see the incredible impact our team has made, and we highly appreciate the recognition we have received for each one of our incredible charity projects”.
One such project that immediately springs to mind is the BHF100k challenge that we organised over the winter of 2020/21. You can read the full story here. If you would like to support our current Christmas Food Bank campaign, the details are here.
The Awards followed The Negotiator Conference & Expo where over 400 agents listened to opinions and advice from 24 expert speakers and industry leaders, including ITV Political Editor Robert Peston, while also networking with some of the industry’s most innovative suppliers. Across the day and evening the event proved itself once again, to the biggest, best-supported and quality event for estate and letting agents in the UK.
