Wyldecrest Parks were successful at the London Loves Excellence awards.

The business, a residential and holiday home operator which operates out its new premises in London Road, West Thurrock, won the retail and property award at the gala dinner, after beating off competition from Zoopla and Hello Fresh.

Owner and chairman, Alfie Best, said: “It’s still hard to find the right words to describe this feeling, it’s such a roller-coaster of emotions! But I’m over the moon!”

“This recognition goes to the Wyldecrest family, to the people who work very hard every single day to push this business forward, and I want to thank them for this achievement.”
