EVENTS THAT MATTER.

As one of the founders of the National Property Awards @npiawards and @beventspresents , the day after an event is always a chance to reflect on why we do what we do.

For over a decade, @an1tachumb3r and I have believed events should be more than trophies and tables. They should be accessible, inclusive, entertaining and genuinely celebratory, bringing people together, creating connections and giving recognition to those doing great things.

That ethos was alive at the National Property Awards 2026.

Congratulations to every winner and finalist, and a huge thank you to our Headline Sponsor @falcon_insurance_ Diamond Sponsor @miapropertygroup1 and supporting sponsors @roma.finance DRD Capital, @hardhats_to_heels AGA Wealth Management and @themortgagedepartment alongside our judges, supporters and partners.

A massive shout-out to our brilliant host @tommysandhu who brought incredible energy to the room.

And to the people behind the scenes who make the magic happen - @manj_saqiroadshow @amma_saqiroadshow and the tech team; @mrladdmedia & @b4buh on photography; @shahid.rzz on videography; @laurenreddz on the Yellow Carpet interviews; @feastindiaevents for the amazing food; @hit_thedhol_ and @undercoverartistsuk for getting everyone singing and dancing, and our fantastic venue partner @eastsiderooms

There are so many moving parts behind an event like this, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who played their part.

After more than 10 years of B Events, I still love standing at the back of a packed room watching people connect, laugh, celebrate and create memories.

Because for us, it’s never just about filling a room.

It’s about creating a room that means something.

That’s what B Events is about - creating Events That Matter.

I’m honestly still taking it all in… 🥹

I’m incredibly proud and grateful to have won Best Property Media & Visual Content Creator at the National Property Awards 2026! 🎉

What a night. From the incredible atmosphere to being surrounded by so many talented people across the property industry, it was a night I’ll genuinely never forget.

A huge thank you to the National Property Awards team, the judges, and everyone behind the scenes who made the evening so memorable, exciting and special. Being recognised alongside so many brilliant businesses and individuals makes this award mean even more.

And of course, congratulations to every winner and finalist! 🥂 You all deserved your moment in the spotlight, and it was amazing seeing so much talent and hard work recognised on the night.

For me, this award is a reflection of the incredible clients, properties and projects I’ve had the opportunity to work on, and a reminder of why I love what I do.
