A LETTINGS agency has cemented its reputation as being among the creme de la creme by picking up its fourth award in as many years at its parent company's annual conference.

Mark Beckett, who runs the Martin & Co office in Piccadilly, Hanley, maintained his perfect record by being nominated as a finalist in the 'Best Established Business' category where offices are assessed on a variety of criteria including growth over the previous 12 months.

Mark says: "It was a real shock to win another award. We have had a decent year and grew by around 30 per cent for managed properties, but it was still a very big surprise.''

Mark is quick to pay tribute to his team of six full time employees plus one Saturday worker and the help, input and support of his wife, Liz, since they started the business four years ago, saying: "A big part of our success is down to the skill and calibre of the people working here.

"We all work very hard and make a great team. Everyone knows it is a tough business environment at the moment but I think we have a happy team here and I respect and applaud the efforts of every single one of them; they are the best.''

He also says it is a good result for Stoke-on-Trent, saying: "There are nearly 200 offices around the country within the Martin & Co national network so for our Hanley office to be up there with the big offices in places like Manchester and London is good news for North Staffordshire; it proves that we can do things here just as well as anyone else.''

The awards were presented by Ian Wilson, Martin & Co UK's Managing Director, who praised Mark's record in winning awards in each of the Annual Conferences held since the business started, adding: "The Stoke-on-Trent franchise has not only achieved superb results in developing their business year-on-year but instantly embraced everything that Martin & Co stands for – integrity, professionalism and straight-talking, good advice. "Landlords and tenants alike clearly know where they stand and I have been really impressed with the positive feedback I have received."

Mark adds: "Such success can only help our business further and give much needed confidence to our clients in this largely unregulated industry in which the right choice of letting agency is of paramount importance.''
