Royal award for Worthing business
The Letting Partnership has won the Queen's award for innovation
A local business in Worthing has received praise from the town's mayor after winning an award from the Queen.
The Letting Partnership has won a Queen's Award for Enterprise after being commended for achievements in innovation.
The business was set up in 2006 aiming to raise the level of service within the lettings industry.
The firm developed the Client Money HealthCheck service, a digital self-assessment platform that lettings agents can use to assess their compliance in accordance with government regulations.
Jennifer Markham, Managing Director at The Letting Partnership, said: “I’m thrilled to bits we’ve won this award, and I hope that in some way, it will be seen as a commitment from within our industry to raise professional standards by safeguarding the interests of landlords and tenants alike.”
The awards are valid for five years, and allow the winners to fly The Queen's Awards flag at their main office, and use the emblem on marketing material.
Councillor Lionel Harman, the Mayor of Worthing, said: “It’s absolutely fantastic to see a hardworking, local firm being recognised nationally for its outstanding achievements.
“The Letting Partnership is a clear example of a business paving the way in its industry as a firm which sets the benchmark for how things should be done.
“I wholeheartedly congratulate the team, and hope winning the award brings them further recognition.”
