The Awards took place at the swanky Four Pillars Hotel in Sandford on Thames last Friday evening and was attended by over 500 business professionals.
Chairman of the Oxfordshire Business Awards, Paul Lowe of Darbys Solicitors, said "The standard was phenomenal and proves that Oxfordshire is a great place to do business."
KeyHIPS is a B2B HIP provider for Estate Agents, Solicitors and property professionals across England and Wales. KeyHIPS also provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and offer an industry leading floor plan service.
KeyHIPS was created in September 2007 by business partners and friends Rolf Groenewold, Tim Wright and Thomas Claridge. Now employing more than 20 full time staff, KeyHIPS is going from strength to strength. KeyHIPS has established a repeat ordering client base of well over 1,000 business clients turning over many thousand HIPs and EPCs per month. With Industry leading technology and an un-rivalled work ethic, it is not surprising that KeyHIPS is offering the most competitively priced service in the market today. KeyHIPS welcomes the downturn in the economy as the HIP industry was saturated with poor and inefficient HIP providers who are now falling by the wayside.
Joint managing director Rolf Groenewold said: "Speaking to the judges for the awards, we quickly realised our youth within a volume market allowed management vision into technology and software which is ground breaking. It is no surprise that the originally established corporate HIP providers are struggling to compete against a fresh generation when their technology is old and inefficient. The property market today has changed so much and at such a fast rate it is no shock to see that older companies with a traditional view are struggling."
Andrew Blacklock, managing director of Devon-based Estate Agents, Maitlands (Home Sale Network’s ‘Best Network Newcomer’ 2007) commented on KeyHIPS’ success: “We were thrilled to hear that KeyHIPS’ hard work and personal service has been recognised at the prestigious Oxfordshire business awards. After dealing with KeyHIPS for many months, we have enjoyed a very professional and friendly service. Finding a company that offers an un-matched floor plan service has also allowed us to provide a value added service for all our vendors.”
