Awesome Awards Night at Bradleys!


Friday the 20th December was a fabulous night for Team Bradleys. 130 staff arrived at Head Office for the Annual Awards Ceremony which had some added impetus with TV cameras in attendance. Brian made the announcements and various members of the Board presented the prizes.

The Evening started with Darren Ellis and Sara Gilchrist receiving their 20 yearlong service awards. 8 more loyal members of staff followed with their 10 year awards. Chris Baxter presented the Conveyancing award to Darren Hole and his Team in Paignton who have followed Darren's lead all year and produced spectacular results. Mike Dibble presented the most improved award to Torquay office who had delivered a great sales year and they were delighted to have their increased performance recognised. Richard Greetham presented the Luxury Homes award to Shaldon office who have seen off all of the usual names at the top of the market and recorded a new office profit record along the way. Francis presented the Manager of the Year to Lewis Rossiter, the previous year's Employee of the Year. Lewis Had also set a new office profit record for his office in Exeter and was the employee with the most good allAgents reviews for the year on the Estate Agents review site allAgents. Lyndon Bent awarded the Office of the Year Award for the second successive year to Shaldon office which reflected their spectacular on going performance and Manager Katherine Edwards made a moving acceptance speech when she confirmed to the room what was required to win the title. Brian concluded the official awards when he announced the nominations for Bradleys Employee of the Year 2013 and presented the Cup to Lynn Foster from Torquay Office to recognise her part in the improvement in Torquay and for her efforts in delivering the sales on a new homes site in Torquay. It was a very deserved reward and a very popular decision with all in the room.  Once the hierarchy were cleared from the stage Andy presented a couple of novelty awards to Lewis and to Sian which drew great appreciation for all. Only the Author and a couple of other people know how spectacularly the joke backfired on Andy by the end of the evening when he himself required the use of the award!

Those in attendance all thought the evening was probably the best awards and party to date and a few people need mention. The food was excellent and thanks to Enid, Ella, Andy and Connor who ensured all were fed very well. Andy also ensured the bar was manned all night and the drinks kept flowing. The room was beautifully festive and again Andy's efforts must be recognised. Mr Frosty had his own TV channel for the early part of the evening as prepared by Alison and then right on cue he appeared and was soon missing again for another year of intrigue. Once the eating was over the dancing began which carried on into the following day and a very good year for Bradleys was brought to a close with a fitting celebration and the very best of the best were honoured by their Colleagues. Next is 2014 and we are all looking forward to an even better year.
