Druitt receives REIWA’s top award

PAUL Druitt has won the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia’s highest accolade the Kevin Sullivan Memorial Award.

The award is given annually in recognition of excellence, achievement and professionalism in the real estate sector.

REIWA president Jim Henneberry said Mr Druitt had been among the first real estate agents to move out of Perth’s CBD and establish a successful business in Perth’s expanding northern suburbs in the 1970s.

"Paul also assisted with the establishment of the First National real estate group in WA and he is a recipient of many group awards for professional services.

"He was also instrumental in the expansion of the institute’s professional development centre, which provides competency training for real estate practitioners and the administration of the institute’s accreditation program for members."

Mr Druitt is a long service REIWA councillor, has been a past president of the institute and has represented it on the Real Estate and Business Agents Supervisory Board.
