Savills chairman, Mark Ridley, collected the award on behalf of the commercial business. According to the judges: “Savills is an enviable machine, churning out impressive fees and profit levels. It addresses client issues, has a great culture and with a strong residential arm has firepower across the board.”

Ridley said: “This award is a testament to the dynamic teams and exceptional individuals across the UK that make up a powerful workforce.  We are proud that at Savills we achieve great results yet retain a unique culture which attracts the best people in the industry.”
