National award recognition for Carnforth estate agency

A Carnforth estate agency is celebrating winning three national industry awards.

Hackney & Leigh was successful at the prestigious EA Masters Best Estate Agent Guide Awards in London.

The company, which has ten branches in total including one in Carnforth, was named Best Sales and Lettings Estate Agency in the UK (6–20 branches), as well as individual recognition for Jo Thompson, Head of Lettings for Best Lettings Manager in the UK, and Keira Evans, Kendal Branch Manager for Best Sales Manager in the UK.

Simon Leigh, Director of Hackney & Leigh, said: “This is a truly momentous achievement. I am incredibly proud of our fantastic team and I am delighted for Jo and Keira in particular.

‘’These awards recognise the hard work, passion and commitment they devote to delivering outstanding results for our clients.”

The awards were presented at a glittering ceremony at Evolution London in Battersea Park, attended by more than 1,000 estate agents and industry partners.

Each year, the team behind the Best Estate Agent Guide carries out an independent performance assessment of the entire estate agency industry to identify the best agencies in the country, based on marketing, service and results.

The top performers are then mystery-shopped to ensure exceptional service levels are achieved and that all the latest marketing techniques are being employed to create the perfect first impression of their clients’ properties.

The process for individual awards included Jo and Keira having in-depth interviews with industry leaders to understand more about them, their values and how they go about achieving the results for their clients.

On winning the Best Lettings Manager in the UK, Jo Thompson, said: “I am honoured and elated to have won the award.

‘’It is not only a great result for me, but it recognises what a fantastic team I have that supports me.”

Following the presentation for Best Sales Manager in the UK, Keira Evans said: “I am delighted to have won the award, not just for myself, but for my team. Just to be nominated was incredible, but to win was a total privilege.

‘’I’m utterly flattered to be recognised for my work in a profession I’m so passionate about, especially given the quality of the competition.”

Peter Knight, founder of the Best Estate Agent Guide and EA Masters, said: “We are delighted to recognise and help celebrate the outstanding achievements of everyone who took home an award at this year’s EA Masters.

“They represent the top-performing agents in the UK, setting the benchmark for excellence in customer service, expertise and results.

“We congratulate this year’s winners, who continue to raise standards in the industry and truly exemplify what it means to be the very best.”
