We were delighted to host our annual conference last month at the stunning Peckforton Castle in Cheshire. We welcomed our entire franchise network for a night of celebration, reflection and fun – connecting with our peers and letting our hair down after another busy year.
Our franchisees across England and Wales diligently support the conveyancing sector on a daily basis, working with over 500 legal practices to provide expert reports and searches. After another busy year in the property sector, we wanted to give them an opportunity to celebrate their success and growth.
After enjoying the wonderful castle grounds, we settled in for an afternoon tea, during which we announced some outstanding award winners from our 27 office network.
Jonathan Howgill from X-Press Brighton & Hove, Andy Hunt from X-Press Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, Keith Moseley from X-Press Staffordshire and West Midlands, Adam Cooper from X-Press North Cheshire, Merseyside and Manchester, Tom Mannion from X-Press Central, South West and North West London were recognised as ‘Brand Ambassadors’, for their actions both professionally and personally in helping to further the reach and reputation of the X-Press Legal Services brand.
Russell Brown, owner of X-Press Greater Manchester and Cheshire was awarded as ‘Brand Builder of the Year’ for being the most active, consistent and relentless promoter of the X-Press brand. Russell regularly goes over and above when it comes to promotion of his business at local and regional events.
Habib Maljee, owner of X-Press East London was awarded both the ‘Newcomer of the Year’ and the ‘Business Development’ awards for exponential growth of his business since launching in 2020. Not only has Habib brought in a huge number of new clients, but he has also shown his ability to build a highly successful business in the future and developed an impressive brand reputation across his territory.
Sisters Claire Ide and Helen Foster, owners of X-Press South and West Yorkshire were awarded both the ‘Social Media’ and ‘Franchisees of the Year’ Awards for their efforts towards growing their business and helping further brand awareness for X-Press over the past year through their lead-generating social media campaign.
The network then enjoyed an evening dinner, drinks and dancing – celebrating amongst friends and colleagues.
Lynne Lister, Managing Director of X-Press Legal Services commented: “Our franchisees across England and Wales work tirelessly to support the conveyancing sector, working with over 500 legal practices to provide expert reports and searches.
“The winners of the awards really go the extra mile for their clients and we were delighted to be able to celebrate our success and growth.”
