Meyers’ Shaftesbury estate agent named at the Negotiator Awards

Brad Hansford was recognised for his achievements in setting up a highly successful agency during some of the most challenging times in recent history

Brad Hansford, Meyers estate agent for Shaftesbury was awarded ‘highly commended’ for New Agency of the Year at the prestigious national Negotiator Awards 2021 recently.

Brad confirmed: “It is such an honour to be highly commended for this amazing award. At Meyers, we work differently. We are 100 per cent focused on delivering a better service for our customers. I joined Meyers just before the pandemic hit, so it has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least, but despite the challenges faced, we’ve successfully built a business and a reputation for customer-centric operations in addition to supporting local charities and businesses. I am now delighted and inspired that the Meyers’ difference has been recognised in this way and look forward to continuing to forge links with our local communities, helping clients move onto new chapters in their lives when they buy and sell their homes.”

Brad, who joined Meyers in 2019, was named from an entry list described as “the biggest in the history of the awards” for his and his partner, Tamsin Bell’s, achievements in setting up a highly successful agency during some of the most challenging times in recent history.

Mark Meyer, CEO of Meyers Estate Agents, said: “We are so proud of Brad and Tamsin’s achievement. As franchisees, they have worked diligently to ensure Meyers is always at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to buying or selling property in the Shaftsbury area and in a short space of time have created a superb and successful agency. However, they have still made time to give back and contribute resources to several local projects including, The Blackmore Vale Partnership, The Headstrong Project, the GAP project in association with the mental health charity Mind’s Dorset branch.

“In addition, during COVID, they set up a voucher scheme in support of local businesses in the area and were involved in a project to distribute free hand sanitiser to front line workers.  That’s the essence of what Meyers is all about – setting the bar higher to look after customers better and support the communities that support us at the same time.”
