Property Executive Development Awards for Excellence

Awards for Excellence

Property Executive began running their Scottish Awards four years ago mainly due to rumours we had heard from a number of property professionals who were becoming a bit disillusioned by the current offerings they were attending. Lots of razzle dazzle but not a lot of substance. Also many commented that some dinners ran on far too long, and that all they wanted to do was to network at a sensible hour during the evening …not at 12.00am!!

This October we ran our first North of England Awards which were a tremendous success.

Excellence is the key to the awards and our judges are looking for developments or organizations which display excellence in every aspect of their work ethic and indeed their end product. Some aspects of the judging process include Architectural Aesthetics, Function, Innovation, Sustainability and Commercial Success.

Our judges are experts within their chosen sphere of industry and there is usually a good spread of sectors represented including Developers, Architects, Property Agents and Engineers.

One thing is for certain, keeping the format simple and straightforward appears to be just what our clients want! You can get a flavour from some our our previous dinners by clicking on the links below.
