One of NSW’s leading niche networks has held its annual awards night to acknowledge the achievements of some of its best performers. The event coincides with its 50th founding anniversary.

Team members from Laing+Simmons offices across the state came together for the gala, held at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney.

Not for the first time, Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie received the major team honour for the night, the Office of the Year Award, while the North Sydney team was recognised with the Gold Award for Business Growth.

Damian King of Port Macquarie took home the prestigious Doug Laing Memorial Award, named after one of the founders of Laing+Simmons, in recognition of the team member that best embodies the moral and ethical standards that were a hallmark of the founder’s career.

The top income producer for the year was D’Leanne Lewis of Laing+Simmons Double Bay, with the Double Bay office taking out the Top Income Producing Office Award.

Laing+Simmons managing director Leanne Pilkington said that it is important to recognise and celebrate the efforts of all team members, from those just starting out to those with plenty of experience.

“This year’s pool of winners covers the spectrum of talent in our ranks, from our brightest young people, those who’ve been part of our network for decades, men, women, business owners and support staff,” Ms Pilkington said.

“The winners provide a snapshot of the diversity that we celebrate at Laing+Simmons," she added. "As a group, we’re proud to be in the strong position we’re in, fifty years since we were born as a close-knit family company. Our growth plan continues to roll forward, but we’ve never lost sight of the family culture that underpins our brand."

She also said that it is this supportive culture that has helped enable the group’s growth in recent times.

“We continue to attract best in business real estate professionals focused on putting their customers first, who can leverage the innovative support systems and networks we’ve invested in to drive their success.”
