ALL ABOUT THE BAYUT AWARDS GALA 2019

Held at the stunning Meydan Hotel with sweeping views of Downtown Dubai, the event started off with the first-ever edition of Bayut’s Got Talent, a company-wide talent show that saw employees showcase their unique talents and skills. There were participating teams from across Sales, HR, Marketing and other departments competing for the grand prizes. The first edition of Bayut’s Got Talent saw dancing, singing and musical performances, creative sketches and more! The judging panel, made up of members of senior management, announced the winners and the first and second runners-up towards the end of the glittering event. The thrilled winners were awarded a certificate and special prize at the event, while the runners-up teams also received prizes for their talented performances!

The second half of the event saw Bayut’s CEO, Haider Ali Khan, take the stage to give an inspiring speech about the growth of the company over the last year, thank employees for their hard work and appreciate the performance of various departments across Bayut.

Bayut firmly believes in recognising and rewarding employees who have performed exceptionally. The awards ceremony at the event saw more than 25 employees from Digital Marketing, Content Marketing, Operations, Sales and Product Development departments receive trophies and certificates for their outstanding work over the last year. There were several award categories to recognise the Bayut team’s achievements, including Going Above and Beyond, Star Performer, Rising Star and Mile High Commitment. 

The awards ceremony was followed by a mouth-watering buffet featuring international delicacies and delectable desserts. The wonderful and memorable evening ended with the announcement of the winners of Bayut’s Got Talent!

BAYUT’S ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2019

Bayut has truly had an incredible journey in 2019, reaching many milestones and receiving accolades.

At the same time, the BayutPro app, a lead management solution exclusively for real estate professionals, was launched with features such as TruCheck™ and SmartLeads™.

Later in the year, Chris Hemsworth was unveiled as the face of Bayut in the UAE with the biggest and most successful real estate commercial in the region, directed by Academy-Award winner Robert Stromberg. Bayut has also launched standardised 2D and 3D floor plans for over 45,000 property types and reached record-breaking traffic of 3 million monthly sessions in October 2019. Finally, capping off an extremely rewarding year, Bayut was also awarded as the Best Property Portal in the region by Forbes Middle East while CEO Haider Ali Khan graced the cover of the November edition of the publication in Arabic.
