Welcome to the team, Charlotte and Lucas!
September 29, 2024
We are continuing our investment in nurturing young talent within the industry, with the recent appointment of an apprentice surveyor and a graduate building surveyor.
Charlotte Beard and Lucas Charter joined the team in September 2024. They join Jacob Holmes who started as a graduate building surveyor earlier this year.
Charlotte, from Bedford, is an apprentice surveyor in the company’s land, planning and development team. She is currently studying for a BSc in Real Estate at the University of Westminster and has completed four years of her five-year course.
She has previously worked in residential property sales and lettings and is looking forward to expanding her skills and knowledge at Kirkby Diamond, with the aim of completing her APC and becoming a chartered surveyor in the near future.
Lucas has joined as a graduate building surveyor, having completed his degree at Leeds Beckett University, where he was awarded HAYS Construction and Property Prize for Best Dissertation in Building Surveying.
He is looking forward to working towards his APC and gaining experience in the wide range of projects that Kirkby Diamond works on, in both building surveying and project management.
Welcoming Charlotte and Lucas to the company, our managing partner Luke Tillison said: “It is hugely important that the property sector continues to invest in young talent and offers opportunities, such as apprenticeships, to allow them to get that vital first foot on the career ladder. We are therefore extremely pleased to welcome both Charlotte and Lucas to the team and we will give them all the support they need in order to thrive in their chosen careers.”
