New categories, the best-qualified judging panel yet assembled and the strongest shortlist we’ve ever seen: the 2015 Estates Gazette Awards really are bigger and better than ever.
As well as celebrating outstanding performance at home with new awards for smaller specialists, this year we have split our global category to ensure both advisers and propcos with a strong international footprint are celebrated.
We have also recruited almost 50 judges to ensure that only the best made it on to our shortlists.
And we are putting the finishing touches to our plans for an awards ceremony that does justice to the quality on our shortlist.
The awards will be presented at the London Hilton on Park Lane on 10 December. Click here to book a table.
