We’re proud to announce the return of the NOTB & Jackson Sims Recruitment Unsung Heroes for 2026 - a much-loved initiative now entering its sixth year.

Each year, the Unsung Heroes recognises the individuals and teams across the leasehold and residential property sector who quietly go the extra mile. These are the professionals whose commitment, integrity and hard work make a genuine difference to colleagues, clients and communities – often without the recognition they deserve.

Nominations for 2026 are now open, and we’re inviting you to help us shine a spotlight on those who truly stand out.

Have you worked with someone exceptional this year?
Do you know a team that’s gone above and beyond?
Or perhaps you’d like to put yourself forward and share the impact of your own work?

We want to hear your stories.

Insight from Jackson Sims Recruitment
“Every year we see outstanding examples of people doing the right thing when no one is watching — supporting residents, colleagues and clients in ways that don’t always make headlines. The Unsung Heroes awards give us the chance to pause, acknowledge that effort, and say thank you. It’s a privilege to help shine a light on the individuals who set the standard for our industry.” James Brewer, Director, Jackson Sims Recruitment
