Ella's career in the property industry may have been influenced by her parents, who are both property surveyors, or by the TV show “Homes Under the Hammer.”
Ella started studying Property Development at the University of West England for a year before switching to Real Estate. She loved the course and knew she had made the right decision. During her degree, Ella went on a field trip to Poland, which included visits to new developments, such as a site that had been redeveloped into many new amenities and a self-storage warehouse that used to be an old TV studio.
Ella graduated in July 2020 and was successful in her job application at Cooke & Arkwright in September of that year to join the Retail & Leisure team with Director Huw Thomas and Associate Director Ben Davies. In her three years of working here, Ella has done varied work all over Wales, working with large corporations like Greggs, with a very diverse portfolio and business all over the country, and then for local clients in smaller towns like Penarth to let independent shops and transform a corner shop into a new wedding boutique.
In May of this year, Ella passed a pivotal point in her career by successfully passing her APC qualification, making her a Chartered Surveyor and now a Senior Surveyor at Cooke & Arkwright. We are all very proud of her as she is an asset to the Retail & Leisure Agency team, and we hope you will be able to see for yourself if you get the pleasure of working with her.
