Greene & Co. win Gold!
Greene & Co. are thrilled to have scooped a gold award for Best Small Lettings Agency at the 2011 Lettings Agency of the Year Awards.
Described as being ‘head and shoulders’ above the competition in terms of our marketing and innovation in customer service, Greene & Co. caught the judges attention for a number of new, market leading approaches we have taken to separate us from the rest of the market.
A bespoke CRM programme is helping to build long term relationships with customers and the team has recently launched e-books on a variety of topics. The website has been re-launched with some excellent new features including the option for potential tenants to match lifestyle preferences to rental properties. We also have video blogs and property book reviews.
Ricky Stone, Greene & Co’s Lettings Director undertakes a series of roadshows to meet landlords face to face, making up to 60 visits per month. This level of customer services again went some way to help bag the gold.
‘It is obvious Greene & Co. is constantly striving to give its clients the best possible experience.’ Estate Agency Events
David Pollock, Managing Director, Greene & Co. said: “We are delighted to have our marketing and customer service excellence recognised at these industry awards and to have Ricky singled out for the enormous effort he makes to give our lettings clients the best possible customer experience.”
This prestigious award was presented to Greene & Co. at the ceremony as part of Lettings Live, is association with The Sunday Times and The Times. Christopher Hamer, The Property Ombudsman was chairman of the judges.

Charity Fun Day
It is amazing what can be done when a group of people band together for a great cause. Greene & Co. had their Family Fun Day at the Hornsey Cricket Club on Sunday July 4 and it was a huge success. We raised an amazing £4000 for the charity, Grief Encounter. We had loads of family fun activities including a jumping castle, petting zoo and sumo suits - which where a real hit. The charity cricket match between Greene & Co and the Hornsey Cricket Club was also great - however Hornsey where to good on the day. To top of a great day we had a performance by the Shalon Monks, which was spectacular. All in all we had a great day and most importantly raised much need money for a wonderful charity.
Greene & Co - Family Fun Day raising money for Grief Encounter
Greene & Co. have gone through a lot of planning and organisation but it is finally here. Our Fun Day is this Sunday 4th July at the Hornsey Cricket Club Crouch End and it is going to be a fantastic family fun day out. The thing about this fun day is that it is raising money and awareness about a great London charity Grief Encounter, who dedicate their time to helping bereaved children and their families. We are really looking forward to the day, there will be loads of family entertainment and a special performance from the Shalon Monks from Britain’s Got Talent which is going to be incredible. Now all we have to do is cross our fingers for good weather.
Greene & Co. raising funds for Grief Encounter
One of the best things a company can do is give back to the community that helped to create it. Greene and Co. have supported the local community through various projects over several years, this year we are supporting a truly special and deserving charity, Grief Encounter.
Grief Encounter support children and their families during the loss of one or both parents. The loss of someone you love is difficult for anyone but it can be extremely taxing on a young child who can’t quite grasp what is happening around them. This is where Grief Encounter becomes an invaluable organisation. They have many avenues which help support, care and guide children and families through the most difficult time they will face.
We are aiming to raise in excess of £10,000 for this wonderful charity. If you would like to find out more about them please click here. If you would like to help us with our mission please click here to donate.
West Hampstead sports day and car wash
Greene & Co, West Hampstead pulled in a few more pounds for our fundraising event, edging us even closer to hitting our £10,000 target.
On August 22nd the West Hampstead office and helpers, hose and sponge in hand, headed for St Mary’s school in Kilburn to scrub a few cars and recapture their youth with some fun sports day activities.
Everyone had a great day, especially the kids battling out for first place in the egg and spoon race, sack race or hula hoop competitions. Lot’s of people bought down their dirty cars and revelled in the local Estate Agents getting their hands dirty. Over £600 was raised on the day for the charity fundraising pot.
We raise even more money for Fight for Life
Maida Vale’s music night proved to be a huge success on August 20th, raising a massive £2,800 for Fight for Life. Everyone that came really enjoyed themselves and the night went without a hitch…apart from a last minute cancellation from one of the acts - it’s a good job our Marketing Manager can hold a note or too and stepped up to the mike to belt out a few tunes.
This is the one of the many charity events we are holding this year to try and raise £10,000 for a paediatric cancer treatment centre. Keep your eye on the blog of find us on Twitter - http://twitter.com/greeneandco - for information on further events.
