Winners of the fifth annual East of England Property Awards have been made public.
180 people gathered on June 24 for this year’s black-tie awards night at Homerton College in Cambridge to celebrate the best of the East.
Sara Cox MBE, the first woman to referee a Premiership Rugby Cup match, was host for the evening, which recognised the property talent across 11 categories, decided by a panel of judges.
LandAid was the events charity, and the “heads or tails” event helped to raise money for its excellent cause.
In addition, the People’s Award was voted for on the night.
