Jamie triumphs at the UK Property Awards 2010!

If you are wishing to find the ultimate property related professionals across the length and breadth of the UK, where better to look than the winners’ list of a highly acclaimed industry competition? The results of the UK Property Awards in association with Bloomberg Television have just been announced, putting a chosen few leading companies firmly in the limelight, both nationally and internationally.

One of these rightly proud winners is East Drayton based Jamie Hempsall Interior Design which has won the category of Best Interior Design – North East for his project “The Beeches” a four storey Victorian Villa in Lancashire.

This was a total renovation project involving 27 rooms and completed over a period of two years. It transformed an unloved residence with a large number of redundant rooms and a layout more suitable to a family with a large domestic staff into a stylish, warm, modern home designed to keep the family in easy proximity of each other despite its proportions.

The design ensured that flows throughout the property became more logical for usage in the 21st Century and included an eco-friendly pellet boiler to power under-floor heating ensuring the residence remained a warm and ecologically sound environment for its owners.

Jamie designed a tremendous master bedroom suite which has been favourably compared to some of the top hotels in London as well as including the odd luxury like a home gym and six person steam sauna.

Jamie collected his award from the chair of the judging panel, Helen Shield – Editor in Chief of International Homes Magazine, during a ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel by Hyde Park on Saturday 27th November 2010.

The event is part of the International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious competition dedicated to finding the best real estate professionals across the globe. The fact that Jamie Hempsall Interior Design has won one of these coveted awards is proof that the Midlands is not only capable of competing at this level but also triumphing within the highly competitive UK property arena.

Much of the judging has been carried by the International Property Awards’ esteemed panel of judges at the London offices of Bloomberg Television but entries were also outsourced to leading experts in each particular field throughout the world. This year’s judges included Luke McKend, industry head property markets of Google UK; Peter Bolton King, group chief executive of the National Federation of Property Professionals; Christopher Hall, president elect of FIABCI; Thijs Stoffer, International Consortium of Real Estate Agents Association (ICREA); Fiona Nixon, chairman of the Australia Institute of Architects, Hendrik Nelde, president of FIABCI Belgium; Helen Shield, editor-in-chief of International Homes Luxury Collection magazine and Sven Johns, CEO of the German Real Estate Association.

Jamie Hempsall, Design Director, said of winning the award, “I am absolutely delighted, it shows that good design is alive and kicking outside the M25! It is always thrilling to get good feedback from your clients, but to achieve an accolade judged by your peers in the property industry is especially rewarding.”
