19 August 2026 | London, UK – The Property Investors Awards Committee recently came together at The Sloane Club in Chelsea for a strategic meeting focused on the continued development of the Winners Circle Alumni and the wider community surrounding the Property Investors Awards.
Bringing together experienced property investors, developers and industry professionals around the same table, the meeting provided an opportunity to explore how the relationships created through the Property Investors Awards can continue to deliver value long after the awards ceremony.
The meeting marked an important step in shaping the future direction of the Winners Circle and exploring new ways to strengthen engagement, collaboration and connections across the property community.
Building on the Property Investors Awards
A key focus of the discussion was a simple but important question:
What happens after the award?
The Property Investors Awards recognises the achievements of investors, developers and entrepreneurs. The Winners Circle is designed to build on that recognition by bringing those individuals closer together and creating opportunities for continued engagement.
The Committee discussed ways to:
- Create more opportunities for collaboration
- Bring the right people together in meaningful environments
- Encourage genuine business connections
- Strengthen relationships between investors, developers and industry professionals
- Create a community that becomes more valuable each year
- Encourage knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer support
The wider PIA programme is also continuing to focus on strengthening its network of Judges, sponsors and industry participants, while developing new opportunities for community engagement and visibility.
The Power of the Right Network
For property professionals, having access to the right people can be just as valuable as having access to capital.
A strong network can connect investors with experienced agents, solicitors, developers, finance professionals and other investors who can provide different perspectives, expertise and opportunities.
The Committee explored how the Winners Circle can help create an environment where these connections happen naturally and develop into meaningful professional relationships.
The aim is not simply to create another networking group, but to build a community where members can share experience, collaborate and create genuine business opportunities.
From Recognition to Relationships
The Property Investors Awards celebrates what individuals and businesses have already achieved.
The Winners Circle is about what can happen when those people come together afterwards.
This vision sits alongside the Committee’s wider work to strengthen the Awards, including leveraging the experience and networks of Judges, developing stronger marketing and community engagement, and creating greater value for participants.
As the Winners Circle continues to develop, the Committee will be working on further initiatives designed to provide members with more opportunities to connect, learn, collaborate and grow.
A Growing Community
The meeting at The Sloane Club brought together members of the Property Investors Awards community, including Cyril Thomas, Desmond Daly, Bernadette Anderson, Jason Ellis, Mariam Radi, Ash Hussain and Matt Lenzie.
The Committee would also like to thank The Sloane Club for hosting the meeting and providing a great setting for an open and productive discussion.
There is still more to come, with further plans and initiatives for the Winners Circle to be announced as they develop.
