People finder
See our people"I joined the Crawley/Gatwick Office of SHW in February 2012 as a graduate from the University of Portsmouth. I was enrolled onto the APC pathway at the earliest opportunity and was given support and guidance throughout my training, and the opportunity to rotate to other departments to ensure I gained the level experience required to achieve MRICS status. I passed my APC in November 2014 and now work in the Professional department specialising in Lease Advisory"
