Nigeria’s Sanmi Adegoke named Entrepreneur of the Year at the UK Property Awards 2021

With the strong belief in creating an ecosystem for black businesses, Sanmi Adegoke, CEO of Rehoboth Property International (RPI), has won the Entrepreneur of the year during the United Kingdom (UK) 2021 Property Awards held at the Intercontinental-the O2, London.

Adegogke who became the first black recipient to win the Property Awards of the Year, a property week event, has over the years demonstrated to the business and property world his unique entrepreneurial flair, vision, and innovation within the UK commercial property scene.

Property Week is one of the biggest property publications in the UK and this award category is considered to be the highest in the property industry.

Celebrating twenty-five plus years of the ceremony, and Adegoke being one of the first black recipients of this award speaks volumes of the milestones he has achieved over the years.

Remarking on the awards, Adegoke said: “As a business, we are familiar with the barriers minority ethnic groups face and the importance of representation, therefore this is something we advocate for in our dealings to ensure there’s a level playing field for everyone. If you can think it you can certainly be it”.

2020/2021 has been an incredible yet unprecedented year for Adegoke and the RPI team. During the peak of the pandemic, they managed to complete an astounding development, secure deals all around the UK, and contribute towards the narrative of black ownership.

Adegoke is keen on showcasing his love for the rich culture of Africa and demonstrating this through his actions.
