Kate Maffey has joined the Cardiff office of commercial property consultant Knight Frank as a graduate surveyor in the valuations team.

Kate achieved a first class honours degree in Real Estate at Liverpool John Moores University.  She will now begin studying for her Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) qualification – the practical training and assessment which leads to membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) – and during the two year APC period will also work across Knight Frank’s various teams to gain widespread practical experience.

Kate said: “I was attracted to Knight Frank’s ethos, global spread, and reputation and have received a really warm welcome at the Cardiff office. I look forward to learning from the very experienced team of people here.”

Matt Phillips, head of the Cardiff office of Knight Frank, said: “We are enjoying an extremely busy year and, reflecting the Knight Frank philosophy of developing its own people wherever possible, continue to recruit a steady stream of graduates who will go on to become key members of our team.”
