What House? Awards: UK

UK AWARDS SUCCESS FOR APPLECROSS AT INDUSTRY ‘OSCARS’ A Scottish house builder has swept the boards at the UK house building industry ‘Oscars’, the What House? Awards. Edinburgh-based Applecross scooped four awards at the prestigious awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London in front of an audience of over 1500 industry peers. Craig Hall, Marketing Director, Applecross said: “Applecross was the only company of its size to win so many accolades which are regarded within the industry as symbols of excellence. We were able to punch well above our weight thanks to a consistent focus on high quality, architecturally rich homes and our commitment to delivering excellent customer service.” The exclusive New Pitsligo development in Merchiston/Greenhill won two awards, a gold award for ‘Best Exterior Design’ and also a silver award for ‘Best Luxury Apartment’. The parkland development of Waterside Green in Craiglockhart, Edinburgh was awarded bronze for ‘Best Partnership Development’. The judges commended Applecross’ joint partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council to transform the former Meggetland Playing Fields into a centre of sporting excellence for the community. Applecross also collected a bronze award for Best Medium Housebuilder, a tremendous accolade for the company which was competing for the first time in this category which saw it pitched against some of the most successful house builders in the UK. Craig Hall continues: “We are delighted at our success in these UK awards which completes one of the most exciting years in Applecross’ twenty-seven year history.” Applecross recently announced a £231 million sales expansion programme which includes the redevelopment of the Eskbank Campus of Jewel and Esk Valley College; the former Fruitmarket in Chesser, Edinburgh and also the former BBC Scotland Headquarters on Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow.
