Third national award win in two months for Belvoir franchise

The Belvoir franchise has announced that it is celebrating winning its third top national award in two months, beating stiff industry competition to be named as Best Brand Builder of the Year at the British Franchise Association (bfa) Franchisor of the Year 2011 Awards.

According to the information provided, the judges recognised the major efforts that Belvoir and its local franchise owners had put into promoting the company’s name and reputation, including initiatives such as a distinctive re-design of Belvoir’s ‘To Let Boards’, the introduction of a Belvoir iPhone App and a redesign of branded vehicles. In summing up Belvoir’s success the bfa’s judges said: “Belvoir Lettings demonstrated that brand building has a fundamental role to play in a franchisor’s growth strategy and it can be delivered simply and effectively.”
 
Director General of the bfa, Brian Smart added: “Our panel was presented with some of the best examples of innovation, brand development and franchise support from across the whole franchising spectrum. It is a privilege to recognise Belvoir as a truly outstanding example of how it should be done.”

The Brand Builder of the Year Award is the third major accolade that Belvoir has won this year. Earlier this month Belvoir won Silver for best Franchise at the 2011 Lettings Agency of the Year Awards, in association with The Sunday Times and The Times - the second consecutive year that Belvoir has won at this event.
 
In May 2011 Belvoir won Best Marketing Campaign at the Franchise Marketing Association (FMA) Awards. Belvoir’s entry focused on its highly successfully brand refresh, and fought off stiff industry competition, including that of some huge corporate businesses, to win the top award at The British & International Franchise Exhibition in London.
 
Belvoir’s Managing Director, Dorian Gonsalves said: “These extraordinary achievements are a real tribute to the franchise support team at Central Office and all the 140 plus franchise owners in our network for the hard work and commitment they have put into transforming our brand over the past year.” (kbp)
