World champion marathon runner, Paula Radcliffe, MBE has presented local property lettings specialist, Belvoir, with another long running Gold medal of its own – following its record sprint in the industry’s top award scheme.
The nationwide Belvoir franchise, which offers its multi award winning property management service from a local office at Sankey Street in Warrington was named ‘Best Franchise Lettings Agency of 2015’ – for the fourth year running – in the UK’s Letting Agency of the Year Awards. It also scooped the same award in 2010, making it a five times winner overall.
Gary Pemberton, who owns Belvoir Lettings in Warrington said: “ I am sure this is an unprecedented run of success in what is widely recognised as the toughest award scheme in our industry.
“My staff and I are thrilled and extremely proud with the achievement – and it is a reflection of the hard work that goes into maintaining the highest of standards of service provided for our local landlord, tenant and buy to let property investor clients.”
Run in association with the Sunday Times and Times, and sponsored by Zoopla, this year’s awards were staged at the Lancaster London Hotel.
In citing Belvoir as the Gold winner, a distinguished judging panel of leading property experts, said: “Belvoir is perpetually successful in this category, due in part to its continual investment in its audit team, which keeps standards consistently high, but also because of the outstanding support and training given to franchise owners which helps them to grow successful businesses.”
Belvoir, which has over 160 offices in its UK network, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and Commercial Director, Dorian Gonsalves, said: “This is a huge tribute to the Belvoir Warrington team, who uphold all the exacting standards and brand values of our business and I offer them my warmest congratulations.
“These awards are the longest running in the industry and were set up to recognise and reward best practice in our industry. This year the judging and scrutiny of all entrants was more robust than ever and we are incredibly proud to have been honoured once more for the service we provide.
Gary Pemberton added: “We know that all local landlords and tenants in our area have a wide range of choices, so we go all out to provide them with a fully rounded property management service designed to exceed their expectations and provide them with the very highest level of customer service and care.
“I would like to thank all of our staff, clients and suppliers for their continued support of our business and for helping us to set a new record by winning this prestigious national honour, yet again.”
