About Me
Sophie is a Trainee Surveyor in the final year of her apprenticeship. She has developed experience across a wide range of rural professional work and supports the team with valuations, land and farm sales, utilities and compensation, landlord and tenant matters and land management. Sophie enjoys the variety of the role and the opportunity to assist clients on a range of matters. Alongside her role, she has been studying at Harper Adams University and is now working towards completing her Assessment of Professional Competence, achieving her RICS qualification and CAAV Fellowship.
Growing up with a rural background has sparked Sophie’s passion for the countryside and the agricultural industry from an early age, it was almost natural for her to pursue a career in surveying. Sophie joined Armitstead Barnett in September 2021 and has since developed her experience across a broad range of rural professional work while progressing through her apprenticeship. Outside of work, she competes her horses and is an active member of her local Young Farmers Club.
