Simple Life Wins 'Build-to-Rent Company of the Year'
Sigma, the private rented sector, residential development and
urban regeneration specialist, is pleased to announce that its
letting brand Simple Life won the 'Build-to-Rent Company of the
Year' award at the Property Management Awards 2019.
The award judges companies in the Build-to-Rent ("BTR") market
against a number of criteria, including strategic vision, customer
satisfaction, social impact, and contribution to the PRS and BTR as
a whole. Simple Life was named the winner of the prestigious award
by a panel of industry experts at the Property Management Awards
ceremony, beating multiple other major BTR players.
This award is the latest example of the recognition Sigma has
received over the past year. Earlier this year, Simple Life was
highly commended in the 'Landlord of the Year' category of the
Property Week RESI Awards and shortlisted for the 'Property and
Construction Campaign of the Year' at the Northern Marketing
Awards, while Sigma's Baytree Lane development won the NW Insider
Residential Property Awards' 'Large Development of the Year'. Sigma
was also shortlisted for 'Best Partnership' at the Inside Housing
Awards for its developments in Sheffield with Sheffield Housing
Company and Engie.
Graham Barnet, CEO of Sigma, commented:
"I am delighted that 'Simple Life' has won this prestigious
award. The Sigma team has worked exceptionally hard since the
launch of 'Simple Life' in December 2016 to create a brand that
sets a new standard for the private renting experience, and this
award demonstrates the success of this endeavour."
