Solent: Judges meet for South Coast Property Awards

Judges meet this week to draw up a shortlist from nominations for the 2017 South Coast Property Awards. Entries from Portsmouth, Southampton, Poole, Winchester, Chichester, Ringwood, and all points in between, will be among the nominations assessed by the judging panel.

The South Coast Property Awards will be hosted by top presenter and BBC celebrity Jeremy Vine on Thursday, July 13, at the Hilton at Ageas Bowl, Southampton. Staged by The Business Magazine, it is supported by the three property associations for Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth, and media partner is CoStar.

Following the outstanding success of the sister event in the Thames Valley, which attracts 570 people, the SCPA is in its second year and highlights the talent in the region's property sector (residential and commercial). It is a key opportunity to bring together the Solent and South Coast property community - with great networking potential for all working in, or servicing, the sector.

"We had such fantastic feedback to last year's SCPA and we are sure that the 2017 event will be even better. Very strong entries have been received from across the region and some of the most significant developments and deals will be competing alongside agents and professional services," said awards chairman David Murray.

The independent judging panel will draw up a list of finalists, which will go live on this website early next week.

The awards night is being booked fast but tables are still available. Contact Libby Morse at libby@elcot.co.uk to secure places at this prestigious black-tie dinner.

Sponsors this year are: McCarthy & Stone, Trethowans, Smith & Williamson, Lambert Smith Hampton, Blake Morgan, Barton Willmore, Ashville Asset Management, NatWest, Dutton Gregory, CoStar, Pegasus Group, and The Business Magazine.
