One of Swindon’s best known lettings agents has become part of a national success story after Belvoir Lettings scooped a major ‘Gold’ award.
Belvoir, which has an office on Commerial Road, Swindon, has been named this year’s Best Lettings Agency Franchise at an awards ceremony in London.
Belvoir topped the category in the annual Lettings Agency of the Year Awards and the company’s Operational Director, Dorian Gonsalves, accepted the honour from comedienne Ruby Wax.
The full judges’ report cited stringent standards and the appointment of high calibre franchisees as the main reasons for Belvoir’s success. The panel summarised their report by saying: “The company’s business formula is proven to work and we are delighted to award Belvoir Lettings the gold.”
Belvoir chief executive Mike Goddard said: “I’m hugely proud of what Belvoir has achieved. Gaining this kind of recognition is great for the business and will provide a boost for the 140 plus network of franchisees which operate the Belvoir brand throughout the entire country. We always strive to meet the highest of standards and winning this award proves that we are reaching our goals.”
In what has been a tough year for the UK economy Belvoir has done remarkably well, and it promises to build on its success, planning to launch another 20 franchises this year.
The general consumer trend is for members of the public to use well established and respected franchised companies which offer the security of guaranteed service levels, backed by a large network. Since its formation in 1994 Belvoir has created one of the UK’s leading franchises and has won a wide range of accreditations and awards, both corporately and for individual franchisees within its national network.
