Rewarding Performance: Inside the D&G Ski Trip 2026
In March, a group of Douglas & Gordon’s top-performing Partners and lettings negotiators travelled to Avoriaz in the French Alps for our annual ski incentive.
This trip recognises those who consistently deliver at the highest level. To qualify, lettings negotiators completed 15 exchanges, while Partners secured five new tenancies over a defined period. These targets reflect the drive, consistency and professionalism that underpin performance across the D&G network.
For many, it represents what high performance at D&G can unlock.
Set at 1,800 metres in the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest ski areas in the world, Avoriaz provided the perfect setting to reward those results.
A Reward That Reflects the Standard
From the moment the group arrived, the focus was on making the most of the experience, and what it represents.
Days began with first lifts and private ski lessons, followed by time on the slopes, long lunches and the energy of après-ski at La Folie Douce. Evenings brought the group together over relaxed dinners across the resort.
But the real value was in the time spent together.
Away from the pace of the London market, Partners and negotiators were able to connect properly. Conversations moved beyond day-to-day deals, relationships strengthened and the culture behind D&G came through clearly.
As Guy Farquharson put it, “A firecracker of a trip. Celebrating our success whilst focusing on how to go again and hit the next target.”
As Matthew Williamson added, “A tough target to hit, but well worth it. Amazing to spend the time with such inspirational people. Thanks so much.”
For many, it was also a moment to reflect on how far they had come, and what comes next.
The Strength of the Network
Bringing together high-performing individuals from across the business creates a different dynamic.
Ideas are shared more openly, experiences are exchanged and relationships strengthen naturally. It is here that the strength of the D&G network becomes clear.
Our Partners are building their own businesses, but never in isolation. They are part of a wider group of driven professionals who support one another and raise standards across the board.
