Artist Emily sketches out a new career

Emily Pickles has returned to her home town of Stratford-upon-Avon to join the office of property agents CPBigwood as a junior negotiator.

The University of Nottingham graduate had previously been working in London, first in high end ski holiday sales and than as a sales coordinator for Chesterton Humberts in Fulham.

She said: “The ski side was great fun.

“With my background in property administration and experience with sales in the past, I am thrilled to bring the two together and work for a company like CPBigwood.”

In her spare time she is a talented artist having previously exhibited her work at Chelsea Arts Society. “I’m hoping to get my work into some local galleries soon.”

She added: “I also love all sports whether its teams sports – netball mostly – skiing or anything in the sea! My fondness for the outdoors and the local countryside lead to my decision to move back to Warwickshire.”

Tom Dennes, head of residential agency at CPBigwood, said: “It is great to have a talented and enthusiastic young person on board who already knows the ‘patch’.

“With her experience in sales and the property world I am sure she will prove a success.”
