The awards, hosted by TV presenter and property expert Jonnie Irwin, encompassed a wide range of categories, including Industrial Deal of the Year, Residential Project of the Year and Rising Star Award.

It was a brilliant evening to celebrate the hard work and success of the stars of the property sector in the Midlands, and to support an excellent cause. We were bowled over by the standard of submissions – congratulations to the winners and nominees and thanks to all our supporters.

The Midlands Props Awards build on the success of the London Props Awards, which have been running since 1992, and have raised over £10.5 million enabling Variety, the Children’s Charity, to support children and young people throughout the UK. 

We want to say a huge thank you to all who supported the Midlands Props awards and enjoyed a fantastic evening in Birmingham. Please remember that your support makes a real difference to children’s lives today. 

Conrad Hollingsworth, Chief Executive of Variety
