Leading property asset manager, Place Partnership, has received two awards at the inaugural Government Property Awards.
Hosted at the Royal Society in London, the awards form part of the first Government Property Month and have been instated to highlight achievements across the property profession through public sector partners.
Place Partnership was recognised with the Value for Money award for its commitment to drive efficiencies and generate savings across its client portfolio, with the company well on its way to surpass its initial target of £58 million of savings over the ten years to 2025.
The company’s approach to forming partnerships with specialist providers in order to assist with delivery of high quality and cost-effective services, also impressed the judges.
Recent graduate and Contact Centre team member, Emily Hoyes received the Rising Star Award in recognition of the energy and drive that she’d demonstrated since joining Place Partnership last summer.
Andrew Pollard, Managing Director at Place Partnership, said: “These awards reflect our commitment to the development of our people and the fundamental drive to ensure that we are providing the very best levels of value to all of our partners and customers.
“We were born from the Government’s One Public Estate programme so the idea of driving cost saving through asset management and estate rationalisation is a fundamental aspect of the business. By undertaking strategically significant partnerships in the delivery of our services, we are able to rationalise our offering and ensure that the services that are supplied are of a commensurate quality while remaining cost-effective.
“Emily’s receipt of the Rising Star Award is exceedingly well deserved. She has demonstrated an exceptional attitude and made a truly outstanding contribution to her role, continually going above and beyond what is asked of her in order to grow her knowledge, skills and experience.”
