Videos help raise £220,000 at event

We had great feedback and a big “thanks” from our partner client Variety the Children’s Charity after our stable of videos helped to raise no less than £220,000 at the glittering Yorkshire Property Awards which attracted over 1000 people to Rudding Park in Harrogate for the region’s premier property networking event.

Good Call Media produced a series of videos highlighting everything from the Property Personality of the Year to the Gamechangers – a dynamic series of videos profiling the three major projects that attracted the attention off this year’s judges.

A message from Variety praised our work with the charity and highlighted the “excellent” feedback on our video reports. Bob Taylor, of Leeds-based DLA Design, was named Property Personality at the event held at Rudding Park in Harrogate. Taylor, who picked up his award in front of a 1,000-strong audience, retired in December after more than 30 years masterplanning, designing and implementing projects in Yorkshire and around the world.

Other winners included Bruntwood’s Platform building in Leeds city centre, the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, and Goole 36, one of Yorkshire’s largest and most high profile industrial/distribution sites, which were all named Game Changers. The Game Changer award, which was introduced in 2017, considers projects or deals which have had a material effect on the surrounding environment or on the market. Craig Burrow, Bruntwood director, said: “Expectations of how we would modernise this building were very high and this fantastic accolade reflects a truly dedicated team effort with all our partners making hugely successful contributions to ensure that we could deliver radical change.”

Henry Boot won the new Export award for the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre and Gateway 36 in Barnsley was named Industrial Deal of the Year The Best Innovation Project award went to Citu Developments for the Climate Innovation District in Leeds. Network North Portfolio won the Investment Deal of the Year and the Office Deal of the Year went to the Burberry letting at 6 Queen Street in Leeds. Lucy McDowell, of Lambert Smith Hampton, was named Rising Star. This is the 6th year that Good Call Media has worked with Variety on the Awards. We also work with the organisation on the Yorkshire Residential Property Awards, the Yorkshire Business Awards and a series of Variety events in London.
