"For me, it is not only a personal achievement but evidence of our professionalism as an agency, showing our clients that they are dealing with someone who is knowledgeable and who they can trust to do a good job."
Whitegates is part of the national Legal & General Xperience chain of professional property agents and recently won the Allagents national gold award for large letting agent for best customer service.
Steve Kirk, manager from Legal & General Xperience, says: "We could not be more proud of Adrian's achievement. We strongly believe Stoke-on-Trent landlords and tenants will vote with their feet in support of an agency staffed by hard-working property professionals of intelligence and integrity."
Adrian is among the steadily growing number of agents across the UK working with ARLA and the NFoPP to become qualified and raise standards within their field. Elizabeth Richards, head of legal and policy at the National Federation of Property Professionals adds: "I heartily congratulate Adrian on his achievement and am pleased to welcome him to ARLA membership.
"In an industry where standards can vary greatly between member and non-member agents and agencies, obtaining this award represents not only his dedication to developing as an agent but also his commitme- nt to working to the high industry standards ARLA seeks to promote."
