Sales phase imminent
What’s the biggest project you’ve worked? I’m working with the head of our Development Team to advise a client on the regeneration of a former steelworks. It’s a huge site, and my work is extremely varied, including estate management and developer selection.
How does working here challenge you? We set our own challenges every day, because we’re always driving ourselves to deliver top quality work that consistently beats expectations.
What’s the most rewarding aspect? We seem to be given responsibility much earlier than our counterparts in other firms. This gives us the chance to build up trust with our seniors, meaning greater confidence when dealing with clients.
What are you focused on now? Most important, I’m developing a long list of regular clients who trust you and contact you before anyone else.
