LONDON, UK, April 17, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Southwark, London SE1, based agency was recognised for its excellent customer service as voted for by their clients - and the award comes just 6 months after the opening of Young London's first high street agency office.
The trophy was presented at a lavish ceremony which took place at the five star Marriott Hotel in Mayfair, London attended by 300 of the UK's top Estate and Letting agents.
The results of the competition were determined by research carried out amongst landlords who are asked a series of questions about the service they have received from their agent.
Tweedie Brown, Deputy Chairman of headline sponsor PSG said "what a comfort it is to me to be involved in these Awards where openness, honesty and transparency actually mean something. Where estate and letting agents are prepared to stand up and be counted by their clients in the most difficult of market circumstances"
Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies were awarded for each region and there were Grand Prix Awards for Best Estate Agent or Best Letting Agent in the UK. "Getting involved with the Estate Agent Awards was a natural fit for us" said Dan Lee, Chief Executive of Globrix.com the property search engine sponsor. "Our business model is centered around helping estate agents and we have quickly built important partnerships, brand recognition and trust amongst the agent community and so our involvement with these awards was an obvious choice."
Phil Spencer who presented the awards said: "This is the 6th year of the Estate and Letting Awards and I've increasingly enjoyed being part of the celebrations on each occasion. It's fantastic to see agents getting the credit they deserve after all the negative press they receive. Throughout the property industry there is a constant need to improve customer service and these awards go along way to help agents focus on keeping clients happy." He added "After all the most powerful marketing tool for Agents is word of mouth so customer satisfaction is key."
Neil Young, CEO of Young Group, Young London's parent company, commented, "We're delighted that just six months after opening our first Young London office in Southwark, London SE1, our landlords have voted us one of the best agents in London. It's testament to our unwavering focus on providing the very best advice to clients and unfaltering customer service. I'm immensely proud that we've been recognised in this way and look forward to continuing to develop and enhance the services that we offer to landlords, right across London."
