Around Ireland with a fridge comedian Tony Hawks popped up at another RICS regional awards on Friday, this time in Yorkshire (yes he did the being mistaken for Tony Hawk the skateboarder joke, again).

Bedecked with sparkling lights, the Centenary Pavilion on Eland Road in Leeds saw around 250 of the county's property professionals gather to see who had won the RICS Pro Yorkshire awards - the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield had a very good night - and we handed out our own Yorkshire & North East adviser and property company of the year awards.

Picking up the adviser award for the 8th year running was Sanderson Weatherall. No Tim 'Bananaman' Caterall this year but David Rastrick and Richard Dunn were on hand to celebrate in the usual exuberant Sanderson style. Raising not just a (pint) glass or two (see pic right)

Henry Boot Developments lifted the property company award. Speaking afterwards Vivienne Clemants said how surprised they were to win as the company normally keeps a low profile.

With the awards dispensed it was time to hit bar and with only our West Midlands awards left to present EG's regional awards are nearly over for another year.

Congratulations to Sanderson Weatherall and Henry Boot and all our other winners.

A few unofficial official snaps can be seen in the slide show below, and we'll add in the official photos as they arrive.

All things nautical and nostalgic last night at the RICS London awards last night, as some 250 guests took over the top floor of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich writes EG's Jo Bourke.

Agents and architects tucked into a meal of duck with potato spring rolls and miso (I had to google the latter - a fermented soy bean paste for those interested), while being surrounded by lots of historical artefacts and trinkets.

RICS UK director Luay Al-Khatib opened the awards with a Winston Churchill quote: "We shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us." 

The sentiment was echoed around the room as agents were heard discussing just what will happen post Olympics.

EG had the pleasure of handing out its own

London awards: London property company of the year went to Land Securities, and London property adviser of the year went EA Shaw. 

Unfortunately our pictures taken on mobile phones after several vinos were not great, but perhaps if you squint your eyes, you may make out Colette O'Shea of Land Sec and below Charlie Killen and Lisa Holland of EA Shaw both with yours truly. 

As soon as the official pics are out of the developing room we'll add them to the post.

Well done to all the winners.

Starstruck agents as EG hands out gongs at the RICS East of England awards

By Nadia Elghamry on May 11, 2012 8:06 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

A sumptous spread, a glittering venue and a stalker. That's what guests at the RICS East of England awards were treated to last night. 

Under the twinkling 'night sky' at Chilford Hall in Linton, Savills continued its running streak securing EG's property adviser of the year in the region. Wrenbridge were crowned EG East of England prpoerty company of the year.

Savill's Rob Sadler took quite a shine to compere BBC Look East's Janine Machin. Obviously incredibly proud of his EG gong Rob ran ran up to her not once, but twice, to ask for a photo of the two of them with his award. Quite what Janine thought of our Sadler The Savills Stalker, we don't know but she acted with good grace and smiled through it all. The mask slipped just once during the photo session - you tell me what Janine is thinking in the picture below.

Rain fails to dampen mood at EG and RICS Scotland awards

Scotland's property fraternity braved the wind and driving rain yesterday to attend the RICS' 2012 awards at the organisation's HQ in Edinburgh, writes Lisa Pilkington.

The Manor Place offices were host to the event which also saw the Estates Gazette hand out its Scotland awards by yours truly. Once again (as in many other cities around the UK) Savills secured EG's property adviser of the year. While Miller Developments was crowned EG Scotland property company of the year. Savills' Keith Dobson and Miller's Phil Miller were on hand to take delivery of the gleaming glass trophies.

Meanwhile, the Centre for the Scottish War Blinded was announced as the overall winner for the awards, as well as picking up the award for best design and innovation category.
 
Congratulations to all.

Savills and MAG Developments lift NW gongs in EG's regional awards

Savills and MAG Developments were the toast of Manchester last night as they emerged victorious to accept EG's North West awards for 2012.

The awards were presented at the RICS's North West Awards ceremony - a swanky balck tie affair held at The Point - the modern conference centre at Old Trafford cricket ground.

Savills' James Evans, Alex Palfreyman and Richard Lowe were on hand to accept the North West Property Advisor of the Year

award (above right), while it's fair to say that MAG Developments mounted something of a stage invasion (pictured right) as the firm was named North West Property Company of the Year.

A group of staff from the developer - which is the property arm of Manchester Airports Group and is behind the planned Airport City scheme in Manchester - proudly crowded the stage to collect the award. "It's a team effort", chief executive John Atkins said as he accepted it.

Comedian and broadcaster Tony Hawks was the night's compere, joking with the audience that anyone with teenage children had probably led them to expect US skateboard supremo Tony Hawk.

p824003124-3.jpgSavills and Stoford were crowned Wales and South West's property finest at the EG regional awards yesterday. At a sumptuous lunch at Cardiff's Parc Hotel for RICS Wales awards, the pair picked up gongs for property adviser and property company of the year Wales and South West. 

The award is the second year running that Savills (pictured bottom left) has been crowned regional champion and echoes two other regional wins from the agent last night

with Savills picking up EG gongs in the  North West and South East.

For Stoford (pictured top right) the prize is quite an accolade. The West Midlands-based developer was, up until last year, a relatively unknown name on the Wales and South West scene. Director Dominic Stokes said he was "delighted" to have won the votes of so many readers. Stokes added that with the firm's home markets going quiet, Wales and the South West "are where we see our growth." 

Over 6,000 readers voted in the regional awards. EG's national awards will take place at the London Hilton on Park Lane in December. Click here for more details.

EG Regional Awards: North East and Yorkshire winners

By Stacey Meadwell on May 26, 2011 11:10 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks


The RICS Pro Yorkshire Awards on Friday night were a lively affair writes EG's Damian Wild. More than 300 of the region's finest gathered at The Pavilion, Elland Road, in Leeds to see BBC Breakfast's Bill Turnbull host.

EG presented its Yorkshire and North East Regional Awards at the event. Land Securities won Property Company of the Year while Sanderson Weatherall picked up Property Adviser of the Year for the seventh consecutive time.

Land Sec's Gerald Jennings and Sanderson Weatherall's Tim Catterall, Bob Fletcher and Peter Heron ensured the EG table was among the liveliest on the night.

EG's Regional Awards: North West winners

By Stacey Meadwell on May 20, 2011 10:28 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
The Point at Lancashire County Cricket Club was the glittering venue for last week's RICS and EG North West awards presentation dinner. BBC breakfast's Bill Turnbull was the hired celebrity hand and master of ceremonies, whipping through the RICS' awards without so much as a hesitation.

And then it was on to EG's own presentation with St Modwen's Michelle Taylor collecting what is the developer's second EG regional award this year for property company of the year (they also lifted the gong for Wales and the South West).

Then it was over to Patrick Joynson and Peter Mallinder, surely the tallest men in property, to collect the North West property adviser award for Savills from, possibly, the smallest property journalist.
