The Negotiator Magazine - Estates - 24/11/2011 "In winning Innovator Of The Year, the judges felt that these guys had been highly innovative in a very tough market, and praised their courage in investing in the new initiatives, when it would have been easy not to bother. In winning Community Champion of the Year, the judges liked both the detail and breadth of Ringley’s approach to community engagement and praised its statistical analysis of its efforts. They liked the fact that the firm takes Corporate Social Responsibility so seriously that it has appointed a CSR champion to monitor the firm’s efforts. (We picked up these two awards at The Negotiator Awards)"

The Times/sunday Times - Estates - 07/06/2011 "A transparent, knowledgeable and approachable attitude means Ringley Chartered Surveyors stood out as gold winners. This company has a clear vision from the top and the entire team act accordingly to ensure they are all headed in the right direction. The number of services on offer is excellent and each service can be fully tailored to adapt to the size of the site being managed, completely necessary when one considers the range of properties managed runs from 3 units to 350 units. The back office systems for budget, maintenance and accounting have been developed and designed by Ringley and as such, the fully bespoke system is totally efficient and captures exactly the information needed for a slick and straightforward operation. The MD is passionate about IT and using this appropriately to minimize procedure whilst maintaining standards, leaving the team more time to focus on the personal touch. The website is fully comprehensive and any information one might need with regard to block management is covered including templates of useful forms and downloads. The team are all highly qualified and expert and it is clear they view block management as a collaborative effort between themselves, the freeholders and the tenants – an attitude which can only reap reward for all. (We were awarded Gold Award for Best Block Management Company at The Times/Sunday Times Lettings Agency Of The Year 2011)."

The Skills Funding Agency - Estates - 30/09/2011 "There were 116 shortlisted entries over all regions and categories (such as large or small employers). So, to win a National Training Awards marks a significant achievement. In assessing Ringley’s entry the judges were impressed by the decision the company made to look inwards to itself and its ways of operating, to commit to Investors in People and put a structured learning process at the heart of its operating. The judges enjoyed the quality of the learning materials…highly creative and showing the best practices of our profession. It should also be noted that learning in Ringley is delivered by the staff and leaders of the organisation rather than a learning and development department. In fact, it was a bit worrying for a learning professional to see such good teaching materials put together by someone outside of our profession and done so well…makes me concerned for my future but that is all the ethic of a good manager – to develop their staff. We were particularly impressed with Mary-Anne’s commitment to learning in the pursuit of greater success of the company. Now in their 25th year, the National Training Awards recognise and celebrate Investors in People accredited organisations that have delivered outstanding organisational benefits by directly linking the training needs of their people to the business needs of their organisation. Being presented with a National Training Award offers Investors in People accredited organisations: • public recognition for their exceptional training initiatives. • the opportunity to be named ‘the best of the best’ on a regional and national level. Competing for a National Training Award drives up standards in workplace learning and development by identifying best practice. (We were awarded Best Small Employer in Greater London 2011 by The Skills Funding Agency for training programmes, which included being the first property company to introduce a money back guarantee service).

Gardenfix And Kleenfix Ltd (contractors) - Estates - 14/11/2011 "Personally speaking, no other company is run the way Ringleys is, Mary-Anne Bowring runs a formidable company. Not only does she strive to make her business succeed she is also aware of the impact it has on the community and takes many steps to ensure that Ringley is part of the community and that they are aware of their environmental responsibilities. No other company I know of has this awareness and this is passed on to the staff via weekly staff meetings and training."

The Innovative Property Show - Estates - 14/11/2011 "This winner is driven, passionate, bursting with ideas and works with the speed of lightening. I was very impressed with her forward thinking attitude, when she took on the case of a SE22 block of flats when all other surveyors had given up. This lady fought and won against a vastly exaggerated valuation set by the freeholder, eventually saving her client over £500,000. Brilliant work! (Our Managing Director, Mary-Anne Bowring was named Surveyor Of The Year at the Property Awards For Women awards ceremony, organised by The Innovative Property Show)."

Landlord & Buy-to-let Magazine - Estates - 21/11/2011 "The Landlord & Letting Awards are the premier nationwide private rented sector awards in the UK, and it’s great to be able to recognise and reward the best in the industry. This year’s response was phenomenal, with over 1000 entries received, so The Ringley Group has done brilliantly to win their category. (We won Innovation Company Of The Year 2011)."
