Ceredigion estate agent Cardigan Bay Properties has been recognised at the StartUp Awards, beating off competition from across Wales to win the 2023 Rural StartUp of the Year Award.

The StartUp Awards were established in 2022 to highlight the success of StartUps across nine UK regions and to celebrate the achievements of entrepreneurs in all sectors of the economy.

Cardigan Bay Properties was started in 2021 by local mums Helen Worrall and Tania Dutnell, with the aim of providing a ‘customer first’ service for property buyers and sellers.

The company also won Start-Up of the Year at the Welsh FSB Awards earlier this year.

Commenting on their success, Dutnell said: “We can’t quite believe the success we’re achieving so soon after our launch, and this latest award is recognition of all the hard work we’ve put into creating an estate agency that delivers a level of customer service that we are so proud of. 

“In launching Cardigan Bay Properties we made a commitment to be open, honest and transparent, using our local knowledge and market expertise to do things in the very best way for our clients. We’re already seeing the results, with clients recommending us to others and reviews that reinforce our decision to do things differently.”
