Martin & Co wins gold at awards ceremony

This is the second time Martin & Co has won gold at these awards, previously winning in 2009 and silver in 2010 and 2011.

In addition to the regional and national awards, two Martin & Co offices collected an individual award and the Grand Prix Award for Best Letting Agent in the UK.

The results of the competition were determined by research carried out among landlords who are asked a series of questions about the service they have received from their agent. Over 33,000 votes were received making it the biggest consumer survey of its kind in the property industry and recognising the best agents in the business

Managing director Ian Wilson said: “This award means a lot to Martin & Co and our offices as it is voted for by landlords. The amount of effort in obtaining this feedback from our landlords is not to be under-estimated and to have this number of offices shortlisted is just fantastic news.

“It is really important to recognise, not only the offices that secured regional recognition, but many others took part and their results were invaluable in contributing to our national gold award award.”

“Throughout the letting industry there is a constant need to improve customer service and these are the only awards that recognise just that.

“Word of mouth and customer satisfaction are powerful marketing tools. A big thank you to all our landlords who completed a questionnaire as without their feedback we would not have generated these results,” added Ian.

The awards were hosted by Phil Spencer, the TV property expert at a luncheon ceremony in London and were attended by 550 of the UK’s top estate and letting agents.
