What is the most memorable project you’ve been involved with at Savills? It started when I introduced a new opportunity – the Severnside Industrial Estate at Avonmouth – to a client who asked us to manage his bid. We successfully negotiated a purchase price at the level we recommended, and completed in summer 2007.

Do you enjoy that level of responsibility? It’s a great feeling, particularly when you’re involved in a major project. When I talk to contemporaries at other firms, it‘s clear that our freedom to have an impact on really big projects is virtually unique.

So you’ve learned a lot? Savills is great for the range of experience you gain – I don’t know anywhere else where you work in up to six departments in two years. For me, it’s the best way of finding out what you want to do for the rest of your career.
