The winners for the News on the Block Property Management Awards 2019 were announced at our prestigious awards ceremony on 22nd November at City Central at the HAC, Chiswell Street, London EC1Y 2BQ. We had over 800 guests in attendance who celebrated the achievements of their peers over the last year.
The integrity of our awards is of paramount concern, and we were delighted to have been awarded the Independent Awards Council Gold Awards Trust Mark.
May we take this opportunity to thank our panel of judges who had an extremely difficult task on their hands. Our new approach to the judging process was a great success with them divided into three groups, initially scoring all entries in their selected categories independently via our online portal. Each group then met to review and discuss the results for their categories agree the shortlist, highly commended and of course winners.
Of course, a huge thank you to our sponsors and supporters, who this event would not be possible without.
Congratulations to all of our winners and highly commended!
Watch this space for our 2020 awards! Details will be announced in due course.
