Going for gold! Regional agent launches £2,000 board giveaway

Estate agent HOP is offering eagle eyed Leeds residents the chance to win a £2,000 holiday if they spot one of 20 special golden boards it has placed outside homes across the city. 

HOP’s golden competition boards have been interspersed with the hundreds of purple boards that the company has across Leeds and beyond.

Anyone who spots a golden board can enter the competition by taking a photo of the board and posting it on their Facebook or Instagram feed.

Entrants must use the hashtag #HOPGoldenBoard and tag one of HOP’s pages on either Facebook or Instagram.

The company has also partnered with GreenTheUK, which works with the Royal Forestry Society and connects businesses with local wildlife projects, to plant a tree every time someone enters the competition.

The agency plans to plant more than 450 trees this year.

Participants can enter each time they track down a different golden board, and the competition will run until midnight on the 20 May 2022. 

A winner will be chosen at random shortly after this date.

Luke Gidney, managing director at HOP, says: “We’re very excited to launch this competition with 20 of our special golden boards now sitting outside various HOP properties throughout Leeds, waiting to be discovered and photographed.

“We’ll also be posting clues about their locations on Facebook and Instagram over the coming weeks, so we’d advise anyone who wants to play to follow our social media pages. 

“Participants can enter the competition each time they find a board, so anyone who finds them all will have 20 chances of winning.

“Joining forces with GreenTheUK is also a great opportunity for competition entrants, home sellers, landlords and ourselves, to support our local community with a wonderful green initiative.

"We’re estimating that we can plant more than 450 trees over the next three months which will be a brilliant achievement and a great way of giving back to our local environment and its wildlife.”

Ed Caldecott, chief executive of GreenTheUK, adds: “We partner with all types of ambitious and forward-thinking UK businesses to support local wildlife projects with measurable impact. We are really looking forward to working with HOP and planting hundreds of trees in the local area.”
