Andrew Bulmer, CEO of The Property Institute said:
“We’re delighted with the record number of entries for this year, showing that our industry is well and truly ready to celebrate its achievements and successes after a tough period. We’ve seen some standout examples of innovation, resilience and exceptional customer service across the entries, and our judging panel has had the unenviable task of whittling down the nominations to get our shortlist. The addition of IRPM member entries into the mix for the first year has made this task even harder. Huge and well-deserved congratulations to those individuals, teams and firms shortlisted on what has been an extremely competitive year. For those that didn’t make the shortlist; we hope we will still have the pleasure of you joining us on the evening as we celebrate the industry’s successes together.”
The ACE Awards is open to ARMA Members, Partners, Associates and, IRPM members and there are several categories not covered by other awards.
