BOSSES at an award-winning property firm have been left feeling “absolutely delighted” after scooping yet another two prestigious prizes.

Beresfords has been named Best Estate Agency in Essex for the seventh time and the Best Estate Agency in Essex in the marketing category for a fourth time.

The business, which has branches in the likes of Colchester, Braintree, and Maldon, was presented with the accolades at this year’s International Property Awards.

The glitzy bash took place last Friday at The Royal Lancaster Hotel, in London, and accommodates businesses from across the country.

Beresford boss Paul Beresford said: “As a company we are absolutely delighted to win not one but two awards, which reflects the dedication from all our teams.

“To be recognised by industry leaders is extremely gratifying. Our reputation for providing professional and personal service is very important to us.

“We do our utmost to provide people with the support and advice they need, during what can often be a stressful process, so it's rewarding to know it is appreciated.”

Nicki Treffers, group marketing director, was also pleased with the victory.

She added: “To have our achievements and hard work recognised within the industry is a very proud moment.

“I believe that our marketing stands out from the crowd and this award is a true testament to that.”
