Southern Enterprise Awards 2021

115 | Southern Enterprise Awards 2021 When it comes to employing building services, reputation is everything and using a trusted trader is key. This is why Advantage Property Services’ success is every-growing, thanks to its commitment to exceptional service and a high-quality finish. We speak to one of the Co-Founders to find out more about the firm and what it has to offer. Founded in 2008 by Jesse Boyle and Justin Pawsey, Advantage Property Services (APS) is now one of the fastest growing, most respected building services in the southeast of England. Located in central Brighton, the firm specialises in all aspects of home building, decorating and property maintenance, undertaken by full- qualified and accredited staff. It all began when Jesse and Justin noticed there was a gap in the market for a trusted property service company in Sussex that could manage a project from start to finish, leaving the client stress-free for the entirety of the job. Since its inception 13 years ago, the company has won numerous local business awards and built up a strong, reliable team that is more than capable of taking on any job, no matter how big or small it is. “Our reputation in the city is second-to-none and we are one of the highest rated in our area on Checkatrade.,” explains Jesse. “We truly believe we provide the best all-round service in the industry in the region. During the spring and summer months, you don’t have to drive far around Brighton and Hove to find an APS banner standing proudly on scaffolding. We are continuously getting repeat custom, which we feel shows we are doing something right!” The team at APS is meticulous when it comes to keeping standards high and it is always striving to be the best - this includes always being on the lookout for new products and techniques to keep it one step ahead of the competition. It is also very focused on teamwork and helping to support its dedicated employees. Best Home Build & Restoration Business – East Sussex Aug21429 “Our staff are all thoroughly vetted when they first start, and we have created a great environment to work in. We reward our staff when targets are met. We provide vehicles and insurances. We hold monthly meetings to get feedback from staff in order to keep on improving.” The company’s in-house design team is another aspect which clearly distinguishes APS from others, and the two interior designers work hard to help realise people’s visions, from start to finish. But perhaps the most important differentiator is the emphasis on customer service and treating each and every client as an equal. “We’ve created many stunning properties that have gone on to sell for large sums of money,” Jesse elaborates. “We have done work for many high-profile people including celebrities, sports stars, bloggers, YouTubers, CEOs of large companies, but regardless of who you are we always provide the same quality service to all our clients. We believe everyone is so important to us as a business, no matter who you are.” During the Covid-19 pandemic, APS, like many companies, learned to adapt to a new way of working. As initial feelings and emotions of shock and worry subsided, the company and its team began to cope with the situation and even continued to grow during this period. “If anything, Covid made us stronger,” enthuses Jesse. “We took all safety precautions very seriously; however, we also found many new clients that we believe will continue to use us for many years to come.” Aside from its great work ethics, customer- centric focus and exceptional quality of work, the dynamic duo is also committed to supporting the local community and giving something back. In fact, in November and December each year, they hold a local clothing collection for the Brighton Housing Trust as APS works closely with the organisation on many projects. As a reward for all the hard work and commitment, APS was recently bestowed with the prestigious title of Best Home Build & Restoration Business – East Sussex in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2021, yet another accolade to add to the trophy cabinet and more evidence of the firm’s stellar reputation. But what does the future hold for APS? More of the same it seems! “We have some great projects still to do this year. We plan on continuing to grow organically and cement our name as the number one company in the southeast of England.” Contact: Jesse Boyle Company: Advantage Property Services LTD Web Address: www.apssussex.com
