Leeds property news: Pride of estate agency

Two hundred colleagues from across the business attended the 15th staging of this prestigious event at the Hilton Hotel in Leeds which recognises the outstanding achievements of the area’s leading estate agency.

Sales director Mark Manning said: ‘Our branch of the year has thrived under the leadership of Dawn Carroll, achieving an impressive 25 per cent share of under offer properties to remain at the top of their marketplace.

‘This branch embraced change in 2015 with a level of organisation we should all aspire to. When we think about what a Manning Stainton branch should look like, we need look no further than Pudsey.’

Dawn Carroll, manager of the winning branch said: ‘This success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes hard work and a collective willingness to ensure our clients always receive the very best customer experience.

‘The award is a wonderful tribute to my entire team and a just reward for the effort they put in every single day to help people move.’

Other big winners on the night included Jenny Archer (Newcomer of the Year), John Sheader (Lettings Specialist), Jo Murgatroyd (Mortgage Consultant of the Year) and the Head Office team who collected the award for Outstanding Contribution.

Meanwhile, Helen King from the Horsforth branch was named Negotiator of the Year, for the sixth consecutive time.

Manning Stainton has 19 residential sales and letting offices across West and North Yorkshire.

The team is also ready to take customer calls from 8am - 8pm every day.
