The property industry united at an annual regional property dinner and auction, held by South East property group Beresfords, which raised £68,480 for Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAA).

The event, held in London for the second year running but now in its seventh year, brought together more than 300 guests from across the property industry and wider business community. 

The ensuing evening of networking, celebration and fundraising among guests, sponsors and industry partners helped to raise the vital funds for EHAAT, as well as highlighting the essential work of the charity, whose specialist Helicopter Emergency Medical Service brings advanced medical care directly to seriously ill and injured patients across Essex, Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas.

Beresfords has been a long-standing supporter of EHAAT, with £220,480 raised to date for the charity, which relies solely on fundraising. 

Paul Beresford, CEO of Beresfords, says: “We’re incredibly proud of how our property dinner has evolved, and more importantly, how it enables us to support the wonderful work of EHAAT year after year.

“Since taking the event to London last year, we’ve seen it continue to grow while retaining the community spirit that has always been at its heart. To have so many people from across our industry come together once again, give so generously and help raise such a fantastic amount is something the whole Beresfords team can be proud of.

Mark Jarman-Howe, CEO of Essex & Herts Air Ambulance, says: “It was a fantastic night; there was so much generosity in the room and to finish the evening with £68,480 raised for EHAAT is a wonderful achievement. The money raised will help our crews bring essential and lifesaving care to people across our communities.”

Sponsors included Rightmove as headline sponsor, as well as Mode Photo, Agent Canvassing, Libre Solutions, Sona Insurance, FCC Paragon, Reapit, Handelsbanken, Tidywork and Dedman Gray.
