New Starters

We have welcomed three new starters since our last newsletter.

Emma Ilsley joined us as Assistant Rural Surveyor in September 2025. She has worked in various roles prior, including working on a rural estate where she got involved with tractor work, giving hands-on experience to achieve strong crop yields and high specification varieties. This role developed to providing property management services, as well as analysis of farm-gathered data to achieve higher efficiency outputs across all farming operations.

Emma’s goals are to maximise on-the-job learning together with gaining educational insight from her Masters in Rural Estate and Land Management, with a view to completing RICS, and later, CAAV qualifications.

Xander Bennet also joined us as Assistant Building Surveyor in September 2025. He has always had a keen interest in the construction industry, having had many family members work in a range of construction roles. He works in our Building & Project Consultancy department so is surrounded by many staff who can offer him great advice and lead at the start of his career.

Whilst working, he is also studying a degree in building surveying, with an aim of eventually becoming a Chartered Surveyor.

Clare Rees joined us in June 2025 as a Secretary to the Rural Property & Business team. She has over 15 years of experience working in a variety of administration roles, including for the NHS and Grosvenor Limited. She acts as a support for her department, helping with a variety of administrative tasks.

Trip to the Circus!

We had the pleasure of watching ‘Come Alive’ in London in September, followed by a lovely meal at La Fortuna, Kensington. The show was incredible. If you like The Greatest Showman then you must go and see it. We all had a blast and thank you to the partners for treating us.
