Agency shows Confidence in its Future by Opening Centre of Excellence

Multi-award winning estate agents Gibbs Gillespie have shown their confidence in the future of the property market by investing heavily in their own in house training academy.

The company which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and has ten offices across Middlesex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire opened the doors of its new centre of estate agency excellence earlier this month.

The academy sits above the agency’s central Uxbridge office and has already proved a huge hit with staff.

Co-founder James Gibbs said: “We’ve always believed that training and educating our team is the best investment we can make in the business. This keeps the very high standard of service we give to our clients at the forefront of our team’s minds.

“The academy is an extension of this and shows our commitment to client care and ensuring our team are the best trained estate agents in the business.”

The training academy includes the latest high tech equipment to ensure that members of staff go away feeling fully equipped for the challenges their roles often bring.

The list of courses is being regularly added to and currently includes sales negotiation, customer service excellence, working with conveyancing solicitors and many more over the coming months.

Co-founder Paul Gillespie added: “By opening the academy along with our new office in Stanmore towards the end of this year we’re showing our belief in our business and the local property market.”
