Belvoir celebrates the network's top franchisees
Belvoir celebrated the network’s top performing franchise owners at a glittering awards ceremony, culminating in the presentation of the coveted Gold Award for Belvoir Franchise of the Year 2016.
Over 150 franchise owners and guests attended the Belvoir National Conference and Awards at Coombe Abbey Hotel, Warwickshire. The prestigious black-tie event was given a liberal sprinkling of glamour by charismatic magician Ben Hanlin, star of ITV2 ‘s Tricked, who presented the awards following a fascinating display of mind-boggling tricks.
A total of 28 awards were presented from a range of categories including Charity Champions, Highest Turnover, Group Contribution, Acquisition, Customer Service, Social Media and Top Sales Performer.
Speaking after the event, Belvoir’s CEO Mike Goddard, who co-presented the awards said: “I am incredibly proud of our franchise owners and the staff at Central Office in Grantham for everything that they have achieved in the past year. Two of our offices – Belvoir Peterborough and Belvoir Edinburgh - achieved a million pounds worth of turnover in 2015, which was a fantastic achievement. Terry Lucking and Emma Falco of Belvoir Peterborough won the Award for Highest Turnover in a single month, as well as the award for Top Sales Performer and Number One Rankings in the network. To win three awards is testimony to all their hard work and dedication, plus the efforts of their outstanding team.
“Our franchise owners all work incredibly hard to grow their businesses, but so many of them also give time, effort and resources to additional activities such as charity events throughout the year, or developing innovative strategies that not only help to grow individual businesses, but also enhance the brand on a national level. Thanks to their efforts Belvoir has become a key industry player that is recognised by the public as a company synonymous with good customer service.
“I would like to pay tribute to all of the 2016 award winners, and also to the organisers. Belvoir’s awards are extremely sought after and hard earned. The quality of franchise owners within the network is outstanding, and so it was a massive achievement for husband and wife team, Sue and John Warburton of Belvoir Leamington Spa to win Belvoir’s top Award of Franchise of the Year 2016. The judging criteria for this award was Group Contribution, Customer Service, Business Growth and Future Strategy and Sue and John were clear winners in all of these categories. John and Sue also won the Belvoir Innovation Award and the Bronze Award for Group Contribution.
“The Belvoir Gold Award for New Franchise of the Year went to Jason Ou of Belvoir Kingston upon Thames, who launched his business in 2014. Jason and his wife Isabella Zhang are a very personable couple with strong ambition and a passion for people and property. They work endless hours to grow their business and have recently launched a successful sales service. They are very worthy winners of the award.
“Each year we wonder if the Belvoir Awards can get any better, and each year standards rise even higher. 2015 really was a pivotal year for Belvoir, when the company bought out two major corporate acquisitions and grew by 31 per cent, taking the number of Belvoir offices across the network to over 200. I am confident that this year will also be one of considerable growth for Belvoir and look forward to welcoming everyone back to our Annual Conference and Awards in 2017.”
