The Yorkshire office of global property consultancy Knight Frank was named the Office Agency Team of the Year at the Yorkshire Property Awards.
The awards, held at Rudding Park Hotel, Harrogate, were attended by 750 of the region’s leading property professionals and raised money for children’s charity The Variety Club.
The judges said: “Knight Frank differentiated itself from the competition by showing a geographical spread of deals activity which demonstrated a commitment and understanding of the entire region.
“This ranged from advising KPMG on its new offices on Sovereign Street, Leeds, to instructions on the First Point Business Park, Doncaster, for Amerdale and the Sheffield Business Park.
“Knight Frank impressed the judges by showing a slow market doesn’t need to be a barrier to doing viable deals with an innovative approach to its consultancy role.”
Knight Frank was also shortlisted in the Investment Agency and Industrial Agency categories and was the only Yorkshire agency to be mentioned in all three categories.
Henrie Westlake, partner at Knight Frank in Leeds, said: “We were delighted to win this prestigious award and be shortlisted in two other categories, especially as the awards were voted for by an expert committee of property professionals.
“It has been a challenging year for the property industry in Yorkshire, as elsewhere, as we emerge from the recession, but we have managed to put together some important deals in a difficult market.”
