Kingston student scoops top title in property industry awards

Kingston student Elsie North has taken the top regional prize in a national property competition run by the Association of Women in Property.
Elsie, who works for quantity surveyors Faithful+Gould, is in her second year studying Quantity Surveying. She saw off competition from 13 other students to win one of two top South East awards at a special event sponsored by law firm Norton Rose LLP at their London Riverside offices.
Elsie will now represent the South East branch of Women in Property when she goes through to the national ‘Best of the Best’ final on 27 September, at Claridge’s.
Elsie wins £300, a work experience placement, free membership of the Association of Women in Property upon graduating, and the opportunity to participate in the Women in Property mentoring programme, whereby a mentor will support her in her early career.
The National Student Awards are now in their fifth year. Open to second-year female students studying a Built Environment degree course, students are nominated by their universities.
