The Registry Collection® exchange programme, the world’s largest luxury exchange network, was honoured to receive the Fractional Life 2010 Services To The Industry Award at the Fractional Life Summit on 19th February.

The criteria for winning The Services to the Industry Award was deemed to be the person or organisation that has done the most to help grow the fractional industry from a business and/or consumer point of view. The Fractional Life expert judging panel is comprised of fractional property experts, editors and industry professionals. Chairman of the judges’ panel and founder of Fractional Life, Piers Brown, said: “When it came to this award, the judges were unanimous in naming The Registry Collection programme the deserving winner. As the first programme to offer fractional developers the attractive option of luxury leisure property exchange, The Registry Collection programme was described by judges as a slick, smart and a savvy way to help both developers and fractional owners. Their marketing is good and attention to detail strong. Equally, the product offered is high-end and lifts the profile of fractional luxury in the marketplace worldwide.”

Gregg Anderson, vice president, The Registry Collection programme, speaking on behalf of his colleagues said: “We’re truly honoured and delighted to receive this accolade from such a respected panel of industry professionals. Our programme is a team effort and I’d like to thank Piers Brown and Fractional Life, industry pioneers like ourselves, who have been instrumental in raising the profile of the fractional industry and providing customers with an authoritative and trusted source of information about our business and a lively online market place for the benefit of everyone involved in the industry.

“A big ‘thank you’ must go to our affiliated developers whose world-class developments and faith in us has given us the opportunity to make The Registry Collection programme the attractive, distinctive and first-class product it is today.”

Nick Turner, VP and head of The Registry Collection programme, Europe, added: “I’d like to join Gregg in thanking our associates and saying how very proud we are to receive this, our second industry award in just a few months. The fractional product has definitely arrived in Europe, enjoying coverage in the UK national and property press as well as attracting a strong attendance at events such as the Fractional Life Expo and Summit, and the OPPLive Event last year. We’re seeing an increase in activity within The Registry Collection programme too, with eight new fractional properties having joined the programme in Europe in the last 12 months.”
