WEBBERS recently held their annual ‘in-house’ business awards and presented their Bude office with the accolade of ‘Office of the Year’.

The awards were held at Webber’s summer conference, in Highbullen Country House Hotel.

The annual Webbers summer conference theme this year was ‘leading the way’.

Managing director Malcolm Prescott said: “Every year we look at our business and everything that surrounds it and we could see that the housing market needs now, more than at any time some clear leadership.

“With the recent election turmoil and ongoing Brexit talks, there is a certain amount of confusion and indecision and as local property experts renowned for giving good clear advice to home sellers and landlords, we wanted to re-affirm to the whole company the need to do just that, lead the way in our business and for our customers.”

As part of the conference Webbers, who have 16 offices covering Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, hold their annual ‘in-house’ business awards and the big award of the ceremony ‘Office of the Year’ this year was awarded to Bude, after what has been a quite fantastic performance over the last two years.

Local director John Tape said: “This really is the icing on the cake for the whole Bude team, we have all worked very hard and achieved great things in recent years and our customer satisfaction has been through the roof, which is just as pleasing and I would like to add how nice it has been to receive so many congratulatory messages, from inside and outside of the company.”

Webbers chairman Graham Harrison added: “I am thrilled for the Bude team, I really am — they have such a great teamwork ethic in the office, they are professional, committed and so well liked by the community — that’s because they genuinely care about what they do and how they do it — richly deserved.”

Webbers have 16 offices across, Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, together with specialist departments that include rentals, commercial, new homes and auctions.

Webbers are founder members of the Relocation Agent Network group, which has over 600 UK offices and are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA).
