A WIN at the Property Management Awards gave a great start to the new year for Cotswold Property Management Services Ltd.

The winners were revealed at a glittering award ceremony held in December to recognise and reward excellence and professionalism at both an individual and company level.

CPMS Ltd asked their clients to nominate them if they felt they were worthy of the award.

The judging criteria covered everything from approachability to expertise and efficiency and entries had to be supported with details of specific challenges that had been met and overcome. The results were a win in the regional property manager of the year category for Elizabeth McDougall of CPMS, with the company highly commended in the regional property management company of the year category.

She said: "It was lovely to be nominated as it shows that we're doing an excellent job and keeping our clients happy. It was great to receive that kind of recognition from people who are in the business.

"We were the smallest firm there but the most successful winner of the evening."
