Tees hands out Responsible Employer of the Year award

Tees sponsored a brand-new award for 2024 at the Eastern Echo Awards in Cambridge last week. Now in the third year, the awards took place on Wednesday 26 June to celebrate the East of England’s property industry.

The beautiful weather on the night meant the open space at Homerton College before the awards ceremony was fully utilised, with many people able to network and enjoy a drink. The black-tie event was attended by leaders from across the property sector and country, with our Commercial Property team coming together to present their award.

Partner and head of Commercial Property in Cambridge, Sarah Coates, said:

“It was a hugely enjoyable evening in a beautiful setting. The strength and depth of the projects and people nominated let alone the winners highlights the prowess of the Eastern region.”

The Eastern Echo Awards is targeted at projects, people, and places across the East of England and was judged by a panel with extensive experience and knowledge. The panel covered a range of property sectors, including office, industrial, retail, life science, and residential.

New for 2024, the award for Responsible Employer of the Year was sponsored by Tees, and organisers were asked to hear from a company, consultant, or project team that could demonstrate how successful it has been in delivering a responsible business strategy. Measurables were to include how businesses incorporated innovation, adoption of social responsibility, engagement in the local community, approach to the environment and governance or feedback from clients or a supply chain on the approach taken to do responsible business.

Tees was very pleased to hand the Responsible Employer of the Year award to Saunders Boston Architects.
