More than 200 professionals gathered to celebrate the best of the East of England’s property industry in 2024.
Now in its third year, the Eastern Echo Awards culminated in a black tie event in the New Dining Hall at Homerton College in Cambridge on Wednesday, June 26.
Mayor of the Cambridge & Peterborough Combined Authority, Dr Nik Johnson shared his vision and his desire to ensure the region continues to remain relevant after the General Election and guests heard from the evening’s star speaker Laura Foster, senior reporter for BBC News and Radio 4 presenter.
UK Property Forums managing director Matthew Battle, who hosted the evening, said: “It was great to celebrate the East of England’s finest. The Eastern Echo Awards continues to grow and get better.
“Our speakers went down extremely well and people genuinely enjoyed the event. We are already working on next year’s awards programme and we have booked Homerton College for June 25, 2025 for the presentation evening.”
