As an Apprentice Surveyor at Armitstead Barnett, Grace is developing her skills across a broad range of rural professional work, supporting the team in areas such as valuations, sales, utilities, landlord and tenant matters, and land management. She enjoys being out and about, learning from experienced colleagues, and getting involved in the day-to-day variety the role brings, no two days are the same, and that’s what she loves about it. Grace is currently in her second year studying at Harper Adams University alongside her role at Armitstead Barnett, working towards her APC and RICS qualification.
Growing up on her family’s beef and sheep farm in the Yorkshire Dales sparked Grace’s passion for the countryside and rural life. That practical background has shaped her understanding of the sector and provided a strong foundation for her surveying career. Grace joined Armitstead Barnett in June 2023, spending a year working in the sales team before beginning her apprenticeship, gaining hands-on experience in rural property marketing and client service, developing the confidence and knowledge to support clients effectively. Outside of work, she remains actively involved in her family farm and is an active member of Young Farmers, currently holding roles at both club and district level.
