Chairman, YPC Group

Great news! Our Chairman of YPC, Mr Brett Alegre-Wood, won the People's Book Prize.

Wow.

That's it really, WOW, there's no other word to describe the feeling of seeing Brett win the award. The ceremony took place at the London Stationer's Hall. A big and beautifully authentic building, with impressive architecture showing off some great glass stained windows. It definitely set the mood of the traditionally old English style of such a ceremony.

Aside from the warm welcome, with wines, cheese twists and olives to aid easy mingling, we were ushered inside to begin dining our three course meal.
While some of us struggled with the pudding, Brett's wife, Arlene was fast to it. The pudding was the only meal she didn't fuss over due to her first radiant pregnancy. Tea approached, the lights and cameras were ready for action just 8m away from where we sat.

The speeches began, and the Non-Fiction category was up first.
We all sat anxiously at the edges of our seats, with a million butterflies being born just for this occasion, as the presenter slowly opened the envelope. 'So this is the Non-Fiction winner, and the winner is? (we've stopped breathing at this point) Brett Alegre-Wood?' (our table goes absolutely mental, and the claps slightly deafening along with the 'WOOP WOOP''s).
Brett's as shocked as ever but still has his trademark smile, turns to his wife for a hug and a kiss. At least 10seconds of our noise went pass, and so the presenter finished of with '? for The 3+1 Plan; The Insiders Way to Achieve Financial Freedom with Just 4 Properties'.

Brett climbs up on stage, receives the award (camera flashes going off everywhere). He said 6 words, 'Thank you guys, um, yeah, wow?' and our table went mental again, absolutely ecstatic. What a brilliant way to start the 2nd half of the year.
