Award-winning excellence at The Guild Conference and Awards Ceremony 2025

Posted on: Monday, February 10, 2025

The Guild of Property Professionals celebrated the exceptional achievements of its Members at its annual Conference and Awards Ceremony, held at the iconic QEII Centre in Westminster on 7 February 2025. Entitled ‘Now That’s What I Call Estate Agency’, the event brought together property professionals from across the UK for a day of inspiration, learning, and recognition.

The conference, opened by Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild, provided Members with invaluable opportunities to connect, engage, and learn from industry experts. McKenzie highlighted 2024’s key achievements and offered insights into the evolving market landscape, saying: "This conference is all about equipping agents with the knowledge, tools, and connections they need to excel in 2025. With AI techniques and technology rapidly advancing, we are showcasing the strategies of the very best agents to inspire innovation and growth across the sector."

The agenda featured thought-provoking presentations from prominent speakers, such as Paul Offley, Compliance Officer, Simon Leadbetter, Founder of Unchained Marketing, and David Abbott, internationally acclaimed pricing expert, who delivered actionable strategies for agencies to enhance revenue and performance through improved pricing practices.

The highlight of the day was the prestigious Guild Awards ceremony, where 80 Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Overall Awards were presented to Members in recognition of their outstanding contributions throughout 2024. The winners, listed below, were honoured for their dedication to exceptional customer service and their unwavering commitment to guiding clients through their home-moving journeys.

In addition to the usual regional and overall awards, this year The Guild commended one of their own, with a special Outstanding Contribution Award, presented to Paul Offley, Compliance Officer. McKenzie comments, “It is a great honour for me to present Paul with an Outstanding Achievement Award for 2025, he has been an incredible asset to our network for many years and continues to support our Members in remaining compliant and protected, putting them head and shoulders above the competition in what can ordinarily be a complicated minefield for the industry.”

Kris McLean, Managing Director of The Guild of Property Professionals, praised the winners: "The Guild Awards are a chance for us to recognise the incredible dedication and achievements of our Members. These agents have gone above and beyond, setting new standards of excellence and service, and it’s an honour to celebrate them. As an organisation, we are immensely proud of our Members and delighted to celebrate their success. Congratulations to all who received awards this year, and we look forward to seeing even greater achievements in 2025."

"

Having recently used 3 other agents I can say with hesitation that WGH are in a different league, very professional, efficient, polite and friendly. 3 other agents have marketed my house which only achieved 2 viewings in total. I had 2 viewings with WGH in the first week which I put down to their marketing skills

"

WG-H couldn't have been more helpful, queries were answered immediately by professional courteous staff , and they even offered to turn the heating up in our holiday house when the weather was particularly cold. Gayle would ring us during an evening to respond to our query , if required and Amanda even paid a cheque into our bank account. What a lovely company to work with.

"

Adrian and his team have been amazing from start to finish. Very polished team, with the highest standards. I have recommended them to friends and family who have also been impressed by them.
