International Property Awards in London:

Ocean’s Edge recently attended the homes overseas 2007 Awards in London.

At a Gala Luncheon held in an exclusive hotel overlooking Hyde Park on 3rd December 2007, Ocean’s Edge was delighted to receive a GOLD AWARD for  Best Apartment  Thailand.

homes overseas Magazine is the United Kingdom’s leading international property magazine, in circulation since 1965. Headline Sponsored by Barclays Bank PLC and supported by the Association of International Property Professionals, the annual awards are a showcase for the industry.

Mr. Paul Owen CEO of the AIPP, said:
“The AIPP exists to improve standards of professionalism in the international property market.    Award ceremonies exist to celebrate excellence.     It’s an obvious match, but we have still undergone an assessment process before lending our name to the Awards. We are confident that the homes overseas Awards’ insistence on site visits gives their process credibility and independence”.

Ms. Suzanne Clay, European Business Development Manager for Barclays said :
“Barclays actively seeks to promote excellence within the industry and help showcase the best properties available to UK buyers and the homes overseas Awards is a great way of doing this”.

Indeed Ocean’s Edge was visited by a member of the independent judging panel from the United Kingdom in October and was examined on a wide range of criteria, creating a benchmark from which to compare with other developments, and to ultimately decide on whether rigorous standards had been achieved. An award would not be presented if the required standard had not been met.

We were therefore delighted that we were presented with the highest recognition possible, the Gold Award, for Best Apartment Thailand.

In his acceptance speech, Andrew Neely, from Ocean’s Edge, thanked Globespan Media, and their sponsors Barclays and AIPP,  for a thoroughly professional awards process and superbly organised ceremony and luncheon. He thanked everyone in Thailand who had made such a massive contribution to this special development, Paul, Dang and Jan from RedTec, Khun Berm our Interior Designer,  Khun Sathit our Architect, Khun Wittaya and his CDP Engineers, Silvio from VDA, Andy from ARC, Rafael from RS Ventures, Rob our Web Guru, and everyone who has contributed.
