What's your role on the project? Among much else, drafting development briefs, analysing offers, organising bidder interviews and progressing negotiations.

How are you finding it? The feeling of achievement I get from knowing I've provided the best possible advice is unbeatable - knowing that a client values and trusts your opinion is very rewarding.

And what's the working atmosphere like? There's a history of success at Savills that rubs off on you almost immediately. The immense amount of knowledge I've gained in a very short time is thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of the people I work with.

Is it demanding? We work hard as individuals and as a team, and there's a great social and sporting scene here. It all provides a balance to the genuine effort we all put into our work.
