Glorious, iconic, enviable, treasured, awe-inspiring, superlative-inducing, enjoyable, unforgettable. And that was just the venue.
As for the finalists in this year’s EG Awards, they have all of that and more. Over two days of heated debate at the top of London’s BT Tower, our judges – the most respected and recognisable people in the business – elevated more than 80 companies across 17 categories to the shortlists for the industry’s most coveted gong.
“It’s going to have a huge impact in London, and nationally.” What were the judges talking about? We can’t say, of course. But when that red letter day on the real estate industry calendar comes around – the EG Awards – on Tuesday 19 September, all will be spectacularly and colourfully revealed.
London’s Grosvenor House Hotel will burst with celebration for the great feats and unrivalled performances in real estate over the past 12 months. The stalwarts, the up-and-comers, the innovators and the people who drive our industry forward will come under one roof – and we may well trend on Twitter again. Book your table at egawardsevent.co.uk/EGAwards17 and follow #EGAwards17 for updates.
