The Laing+Simmons Annual Awards night was held on Saturday March 25 and once again honoured the network’s high-profile leaders, rising stars and outstanding teams – all of whom enjoyed a buzzing night of fun and celebration as part of the Havana Nights theme.
The Laing+Simmons Armidale team, led by Principal Lachie Sewell, once again enjoyed a successful evening. Individually, Lachie won Gold in the Highest Number of Transactions category, while Armidale was the winner of the main Office of the Year Award.
Members of the Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie team were also regular visitors to the stage, with the team collecting the Excellence in Marketing Award and Outstanding Customer Service (Team) Award, while Principal Chris Koch won the Outstanding Customer Service (Individual) Award.
Like last year, Luxe Listings star D’Leanne Lewis took out the award for Top Income Producer, named The Bart Doff Award in honour of the late great Principal of Laing+Simmons Double Bay.
Laing+Simmons Double Bay enjoyed great team success on the night, picking up the awards for Top Income Producing Office, Auction Excellence - Highest Clearance Rate and Top Auction Listings.
Laing+Simmons CEO Leanne Pilkington congratulated all the award winners.
“It was a challenging year and yet the performance of our network’s leading lights has gone from strength to strength. The elevated levels of support Laing+Simmons provides each office, each Principal and each member of their team is having a real and significant impact – not only on performance but culture,” Ms Pilkington said.
“The Laing+Simmons Annual Awards are about recognising outstanding efforts but also celebrating collective success, and this year was no exception,” she said.
Among the office winners, Laing+Simmons Young Property was honoured for Best Business Growth while Excellence in Property Management Growth went to Laing+Simmons West Hoxton | Austral.
