Here are some excerpts of the judges’ feedback:

Best Small Estate Agency in the UK
“Throughout the property recession Ashington Page has continued to invest, innovate, and improve its customer facing activities. They’ve had the same team for nearly 5 years and this is reflected in a continued “passion” from all to continue to strive to do better, whether through the production of a completely new web site, impressive marketing material, or just exemplary service levels. An outstanding and dynamic agency which is proving unbeatable.”

Best Small Estate Agency in the South East
"Owner Gareth Ashington has worked in estate agency for 28 years and both he and his team are extremely vocal about their ongoing passion for the industry. Early cost cutting resulted in a profitable agency who has come through the recession without needing an overdraft or loan, who made no redundancies and retain a healthy bank balance. 100% of client feedback is positive and they enjoy a high level of recommendations. A strong believer in his tem, Gareth has invested heavily in private training for the staff and the value is reflected in the quality of their actions. Having achieved a silver award in this category last year, the team has actively endeavoured to improve this year – the gold award is theirs."
