At the East Prop Awards 2025 Tees was awarded Responsible Employer of the Year sponsored by Horta Properties Limited. The black-tie evening held by UK Property Forums on Wednesday 26 June at Homerton College, Cambridge brought together professionals across from the eastern region.
Tees was shortlisted for our commitment to responsible business—championing wellbeing, encouraging ethical business across operations, and strengthening ties within our local communities. The award reflects years of collaboration and hard work across the firm to put purpose at the heart of how we do business through Environmental, social and governing efforts.
Sarah Coates, Partner and Head of Commercial Property in Cambridge, was also recognised on the night as a finalist for Leader of the Year. The nomination acknowledged her leadership in both community engagement and strategic growth.
Sarah commented:
“Winning Responsible Employer of the Year is a huge honour and a real reflection of the values we live by at Tees. It was also a pleasure to be surrounded by so many peers and professionals making a genuine impact across our region.”
Congratulations to all winners and finalists, and to all the team at UK Property Forum for delivering another exceptional event. The standard of entries shows that the East of England continues to lead the way in sustainable and responsible development, and we are proud to be a part of the movement.
