The Property Awards for Women
as part of the Innovative Property Show
Wembley Stadium 3rd November 2011
The Property Awards for Women 2011 presentation took place in front of a huge crowd of industry colleagues from across the country, many of them attending from further afield caught flights down to London and brought the team with them for the day. The event was a fabulous success with Victoria Cooke hosting the ceremony with TV’s Melissa Porter and the champagne was flowing. Wembley Stadium’s Bobby Moore Suite was a wonderful venue which just added to the amazing atmosphere on the day. Some winners were overcome with emotion when accepting their award and it was a moment for all of us to celebrate all women working in the property industry.

Jane Gardner from Sewell & Gardner
Jane Gardner, from Sewell & Gardner was among the judges for the awards ceremony. Jane says “It was an honour to be part of this brand new awards ceremony. As a woman in this industry, I know how hard it is to juggle the demands of working in property, whilst raising a family and I can only take my hat off to the award winners. I spoke to many of these ladies at length and I was very impressed with their levels of dedication and how they all seemed to have a huge amount of resiliance and determination to succeed within a very cut-throat competitive field. I hope that all of the winners are delighted with this fabulous achievement because the competition for all categories was fierce and the winners stood out as pretty exceptional people! Well done to them all and especially to those who I got to know well during this process. A very big congratulations to Victoria Cooke for her organisation of such a great ceremony.”
Jane’s fellow judges were:
