The owners of an independent estate agency, who opened their first shop in Benfleet, are celebrating winning a business accolade as well as their fifth year in business.

Lewis Knight, which is run by Darren Diggins and Richard Braddick, has achieved Investors in People status, with the help of Business Link for Essex.

Now the pair plan to add to their branches in Benfleet High Road and Eastwood Road, Rayleigh.
