Investing in Excellence: Supporting Professional Development

At Preim, we know that the quality of our service is rooted in the expertise and confidence of our people. That’s why we take a proactive and industry-leading approach to training and professional development, supporting every team member to grow in their career, contribute meaningfully to our communities, and raise standards across the residential property sector.

Professional Growth with Real Purpose

We’re proud to support our people on their path to professional qualification, not just to meet expectations, but to equip them with the knowledge, confidence and resilience needed to thrive in complex roles.

At present, more than 90% of our Estate Management and Service Charge Accountancy teams are either professionally qualified or working towards a qualification.

In 2024 alone, through our partnership with Encore Academy, we delivered:

• Over 180 in-house training sessions

• Formal qualification support across all levels of experience

Our team members also hold (or are actively pursuing) qualifications with respected professional bodies including:

• The Property Institute (TPI)
• RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors)
• CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants)
• AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians)
• ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants)

Why Professional Qualification Matters

Supporting our people to achieve professional accreditations benefits both our team and the communities we serve.

• Improved confidence – staff feel more capable and assured in navigating complex challenges
• Built-in trust – qualified professionals follow strict codes of conduct, supporting transparency and responsible management
• Sector-ready skills – from service charge accounting to building safety compliance, trained professionals manage it all

• Better outcomes – with the right training, we see better-run estates, fewer complaints, and higher satisfaction among residents and clients
