Well-known Midlands commercial property agent Philippa Pickavance, who set up her own agency just over 18 months ago, has received a prestigious industry award.
Philippa, who trades as Philippa Pickavance Real Estate, has been named ‘Newcomer of the Year’ Midlands, by Costar, the UK’s leading commercial property information services provider, after polling the most votes among its readers.
She learned of her win at Costar’s award ceremony, which was held at Malmaison in Birmingham.
Philippa said: “I am obviously very pleased to have received this award, although the irony of the title ‘newcomer’ is not lost on me, having worked in this industry for 30 years now. However, I am delighted that my new business has been recognised for the efforts and contribution I make in the market, but without the loyalty of my clients this would not have been possible, so my thanks goes to all of them for their continued support.”
CoStar editor Paul Norman said: “Philippa’s award for best newcomer clearly demonstrates the impact her new firm has had and the esteem in which she is held in her market.”
