Rebecca to fly the flag in property final

A UNIVERSITY student is to represent Yorkshire and the North East in a national property competition.

Rebecca Nixon, who studies architecture at Sheffield University, competed against seven other students studying on built environment degree courses, to win the regional heat of the Association of Women in Property (WiP) National Student Awards.

She was announced the winner at the regional final held at the offices of DLA Piper in Sheffield. Miss Nixon will now go through to the national final at Claridge’s in London, in September when she will compete against nine other young women from across the UK.

Erica Bagshaw, from the Yorkshire and North East branch of WiP, said: “The judging process puts the entrants through their paces in what might be their very first ‘business’ interview but the feedback they receive, the skills they acquire and the visibility they receive from this award will be invaluable in helping to establish their early careers.”
