Media release - 31st July, 2015

Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North was a big winner at Tuesday night’s Raine & Horne National Awards, held at the Pullman International, Cairns.

Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North, which is led by Principal Trent Bruce, was named as Raine & Horne’s best commercial office for 2014/15.

Mr Bruce was also named as Raine & Horne Commercial’s Top National Salesperson for dollar value. In addition, Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North’s Hudson Dale secured the gong as the national network’s best Commercial Salesperson for number of leasing transactions.

However, Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North was forced to share the limelight with fellow Queensland office, Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane Southside.

The Rocklea-based office’s Colin Tucker was named Raine & Horne Commercial’s Top National Salesperson for number of sales, while Paul Flego grabbed first in the Commercial Salesperson (Leasing Dollar Value) category.

In a popular win, Luke Smith, Co-Principal of Raine & Horne Commercial South Sydney/Marrickville, was named Top National Commercial Salesperson (Auction Listings).

“I was blown away to win this award given the calibre of some of the agents in the Raine & Horne Commercial network,” said Mr Smith.

“It’s exciting to win this award and I’d like to share the limelight with the dedicated and hardworking team at Raine & Horne Commercial South Sydney/Marrickville.”

The award also recognises the strength of the commercial property markets in Sydney’s Inner West and the industrial sector in particular, according to Mr Smith.

Angus Raine, Executive Chairman of Raine & Horne Commercial, who presented all the commercial awards at the national awards, said he was thrilled to see the recognition was spread around.

“Raine & Horne Commercial has enjoyed phenomenal growth with over 35 offices that service every Australian capital city, many regional growth centres and the Asia-Pacific region,” said Mr Raine.

“So it was pleasing on a personal level to see the awards shared around as Raine & Horne Commercial is a full-service commercial real estate network with a broad suite of commercial, industrial and retail property services including sales, leasing, consulting, business broking, business recovery & insolvency, facilities and asset management services.

“We also have some of the best operators in commercial real estate, which these awards recognise.”
