Excel in Property Triumphs at the 2025 Stevie International Business Awards with Double Win!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have won not one, but two prestigious awards at the 2025 Stevie® International Business Awards!

This incredible achievement saw our founder, Lucy Gordon, win a Gold for Entrepreneur of the Year, and we were also awarded a Bronze for Company of the Year in Financial Services.

The Stevie® International Business Awards are one of the world's premier business awards programs, they receive entries from organisations from around the world.

Winning is a true mark of global excellence, and we are incredibly proud to be recognised on this international stage.

Winning Vision: Lucy Gordon, Entrepreneur of the Year

Lucy’s Gold Stevie® is a testament to her vision and relentless drive to solve a critical problem in the property sector. Having identified that flawed and overcomplicated financial models were putting millions at risk, Lucy founded EiP to bring clarity, confidence, and integrity to real estate investment

The judges were overwhelmingly impressed by her innovative approach and purpose-led leadership. One judge praised Lucy’s “rare combination of technical skill, sector-specific insight, and purpose-led leadership,” while another hailed her as an “inspiring entrepreneur who’s clearly making a difference.”

At the heart of this success is our pioneering SMART© Modelling Method, a system developed by Lucy to simplify complex deals and empower clients to make sound, data-driven decisions.

Beyond providing bespoke models, Lucy is passionate about elevating standards across the entire real estate sector. Providing hands-on training courses designed to sharpen financial modelling skills, boost client confidence, and empower them to make informed decisions that maximise profit.

Lucy’s commitment to profit through purpose by donating 2.5% of training revenue to people in need in the UK also resonated strongly, with one judge highlighting her alignment with leadership that is “technically savvy, commercially successful, and values-led.”

Business Excellence: Transforming the Industry

In addition to Lucy's individual honour, Excel in Property has been awarded a Bronze for Company of the Year. This award recognises the tangible and transformative impact our services have had on our clients and the industry at large.

Since 2023, we have had an incredible growth trajectory, with the value of deals supported by our models projected to hit £930 million by the end of 2025.

Our work has been instrumental in helping clients achieve critical wins, such as creating the financial model that helped climate-positive house builder Greencore secure a multi-million-pound investment.

Katie Rogers from GreenCore Homes said, “We really appreciate your hard work over the past few months. Your model was exactly what we needed, you listened, understood and developed, patiently adapting as we changed our minds! It has been a pleasure working with you to date.”

The judges' feedback celebrated our solid growth metrics, impactful case studies, and our ability to simplify complex financial modelling. With 100% of our clients saying they would recommend EiP and that our service was a good investment, our unwavering focus on client success also shone.

What This International Recognition Means

Winning two International Business Awards is a powerful, independent validation of our mission. It confirms that our unique blend of deep real estate expertise, innovative real estate financial modelling, and a commitment to elevating industry standards is setting a new benchmark for excellence.

This global recognition reinforces the trust our clients place in us and fuels our passion for empowering property professionals with the tools and skills they need to succeed.

We want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible clients for their trust and collaboration, and to the Stevie® Awards for this phenomenal honour.
