The finest gatherings of the property industry’s elite...

Estate Agency Events are the organisers of the Estate Agency of the Year Awards and the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards, widely accepted as the most sought after awards in our profession.

As a result, each event attracts leading small, medium and large estate and letting agents from across the UK. The awards were established in 2003 with the aim of celebrating and endorsing best practice.

Ever since we have been providing property professionals with a platform to reward hard work, high standards and exceptional performance.

Dates for 2014: Lettings LIVE incorporating the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards 20th June 2014 EA LIVE incorporating the Estate Agency of the Year Awards 5th December 2014

“We have found the awards to be extremely productive for us in generating new business. In a one day event we did the level of face to face meetings we would normally hope to complete in a calendar quarter and they are the type of high quality agents we want to be doing business with.”

Simon Whale of Reapit

Why events The events are each attended by over 500 senior people from the UK’s leading estate and letting agents and these are the people who make the strategic decisions, appoint industry suppliers and have ultimate say over budgets.

The ability to connect with these individuals in a business/social environment is something that many of the best suppliers to the industry have come to appreciate that our flagship events provide more than any other. As a sponsor of the awards, you would benefit from brand exposure and networking opportunities that have the potential to deliver business opportunities from highly successful estate agencies, whilst also raising the profile of what you are doing to the industry at large.

There are many marketing messages presented to agents by telephone, e-mail and print on a daily basis, which tend to act as interruptions as they are not in ‘buying mode’ whilst in the office. By removing agents from their day-to-day environment, they have a much more open mindset to explore new ideas and opportunities.

Both events are full days and come in two parts. During the morning we host inspiring and informative seminars focused on business improvement and innovation within the industry. Prior to the seminars, delegates are directed to the exhibition suite and also within the mid-morning break to ensure that you have multiple opportunities to have meaningful dialogue with agents.

After the seminars close there is a drinks reception also held in the exhibition suite which is then followed by the awards luncheon where the winners are announced. Sponsors are given the opportunity to present the awards on stage to the successful agents alongside our celebrity presenter.

In association with The Sunday Times and The Times The Times and The Sunday Times recognise these awards as being of huge importance to the industry.

“It’s an absolute pleasure working with you all and you are one of our most valuable partnerships. We have been proud sponsors of this event for the last 5 years and will continue to be so for the next 5 years!"

Sarah-Jane McQueen, News International, (parent company of The Sunday Times)

Sponsors are provided with personalised medals with The Sunday Times and The Times branding to promote your association with the event. Sponsors also have their own page on our event web site to showcase what they will be promoting at the event and who from the firm will be attending.

Credibility The credibility of the awards is key and so the judging process is meticulously overseen

by Christopher Hamer; The Property Ombudsman. He is supported by Mark Hayward; Chief Executive of NFOPP. Over the course of several months, a panel of experts from within the industry meet to review entry submissions, conduct telephone interviews and agree on the winners.

“As Ombudsman, I’m very keen to see the standards of the industry be raised ever higher and no doubt these awards will provide agents with additional incentive to do so.”

Christopher Hamer, The Property Ombudsman

“We have sponsored both awards events since 2009 and year after year we’ve found this by far

one of the most productive events within the industry, hence our ongoing commitment.�

Sam Coates of Moneypenny

The opportunity

A limited number of sponsorship packages are available for both events, to enable you to sponsor an award and exhibit to the delegates. You can choose to be involved in one of the events as a standalone package or agree a combined deal to support both events and benefit from a reduced rate.

Our events team will provide you with ongoing support in the buildup to, during and after the event to ensure that you get the most out of your investment.

On agreeing to be involved, we will arrange a planning session with you to establish your objectives and how we can help you to get your desired result from the event/s. In addition to exhibition space the seminar programme may offer the opportunity to promote your products and services.

Unlike some exhibitions where you only get a fleeting chance to meet people, this event provides extensive networking with key players.

At both events you will have several opportunities to meet agency owner’s face-to-face including registration, coffee breaks, drinks reception, gala lunch, awards ceremony and the post event drinks.

We will promote your involvement to our database of nationwide agents and feature you prominently on the awards web site and other marketing materials. We can also help you gain the maximum PR advantage from your sponsorship – our goal is to make sure you receive outstanding value from this event in every way possible.

Companies representing over 5,000 offices in the UK enter year on year, with new entrants also wanting to add the award to their achievements.

Sponsorship Packages

There are a range of sponsorship and exhibition packages available for both the Lettings and Estate Agency Awards, which can be tailored to meet your business requirements.

Headline Networking A headline package giving the sponsor the opportunity to own the event during the drinks reception.

The drinks reception is held after the close of the morning seminars and includes drinks and canapĂŠs prior to the awards luncheon. The duration of this reception is a minimum of 1hr and we work with the headline sponsor to maximise their exposure during this period.

VIP Breakfast Sponsorship This package is almost entirely bespoke depending on the sponsors requirements and provides an opportunity to target a select audience and bring them together in an intimate setting prior to the big day. Previous events have had presentations and also special guest Q&A sessions. The aim is to identify an audience you would like to spend some valuable time with and then create a breakfast event that they will see as being worthwhile attending.

Specialist Category Sponsorship Each specialist award category, ranging from Marketing to Customer service, has a specific sponsor.

These packages are designed to give any type of business the maximum opportunity to build relationships, sell their products or services, educate the market, build brand awareness, launch new products and gather product or client feedback.

“Sponsorship provides a superb opportunity to make new contacts, strengthen existing relationships and maintain a high profile with the most forward-thinking businesses and individuals in the property industry.”

“Our sponsorship of the individuals awards category demonstrates our commitment to the property industry – enhancing our reputation and providing a competitive edge and PR opportunities that endure far beyond the events themselves.”
