Caan revealed as new awards face

Dragons’ Den star and millionaire business entrepreneur, James Caan, is to join the esteemed judging panel for The Negotiator Awards 2010.

Caan (pictured) is most famous for being a Dragon on the BBC’s business start-up show, Dragons’ Den. But he is also founder of West London-based private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw, which has a portfolio of companies with a combined turnover of more than £400m, plus a property investment portfolio valued at £35m. He is also chairman of property portal, Look4aProperty.com.

Caan is one of 11 judges on the panel for the most prestigious event of the residential agency calender, The Negotiator Awards 2010. Each of our industry experts will be tasked with judging readers’ submissions and nominating the potential winners for each of our award categories, which will cover all aspects of agency, from sales, lettings and land and new homes to auctions, block management and marketing.

Hosted in London’s glamorous ballroom at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane in London, The Negotiator Awards 2010 will once again help celebrate the excellence demonstrated by agents and firms in at least each of these areas over the last year.

This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better than the hugely successful ceremonies enjoyed by more than 500 guests in each of the last two years.

Comic genius Rory Bremner kicked off The Negotiator’s inaugural ceremony in 2008, with his industry peer Paul Zenon following in his footsteps last year.

We plan to update you regularly about the latest awards news in the print edition of The Negotiator, as well as in our weekly e-newsletters and on Twitter, between now and the big night on November 10.

The categories will be printed in the next issue of the magazine, out on March 19, along with the official entry form. A dedicated awards page will also be created on our website, negotiator-magazine.co.uk.
