Bringing Opportunity to Life: Clowes Developments Celebrates Emma Purdy’s Achievement as She Becomes a Chartered Surveyor

Clowes Developments are delighted to announce a significant career milestone for Emma Purdy, who has officially become a Chartered Surveyor after successfully completing the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).

Emma’s journey with Clowes began in 2017 when she joined the business as a receptionist, fresh out of school. Demonstrating ambition and a keen interest in property, Emma transitioned just a year later into the Asset Management team, supporting Kevin McFarlane, now a Director at Clowes. Her progression is a testament to her determination, professionalism, and passion for the industry.

In 2020, Emma took a major step forward by enrolling on a workplace degree apprenticeship in Real Estate Management, where she successfully graduated in 2023 with a 2:1 from the University College of Estate Management. Committed to furthering her qualifications and career, she then began the rigorous APC process.

Emma’s success in becoming a Chartered Surveyor is not only a personal triumph but also reflects Clowes Developments’ ongoing commitment to nurturing in-house talent and supporting long-term professional development.

Kevin McFarlane MRICS, Director at Clowes Developments, commented:

Watching Emma grow from her first role at reception into a Chartered Surveyor has been incredibly rewarding. Her achievement is thoroughly deserved, and she has become a vital member of our Asset Management team. We’re very proud of her hard work and dedication.

Emma Purdy MRICS added:

I’m incredibly grateful to Clowes for the opportunities and support they’ve given me throughout my journey. Completing my APC was challenging but extremely fulfilling, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the business in my new capacity as a Chartered Surveyor.

Emma continues her role within Clowes’ Asset Management team, where she is instrumental in managing and enhancing the company’s diverse commercial property portfolio whilst supporting the next generation at Clowes in their professional advancement.
