Leicester architect Sarah Grocock is the new chair of Emerging Talent, the ProCon Leicestershire group for young and new professionals in property and construction roles.
Sarah has been attending Emerging Talent events since the group started in 2017 and will now lead its steering committee as they plan a year of social and professional events in 2022.
A De Montfort University graduate, Sarah has been working at the Leicester office of the architectural business rg+p for almost a decade and is now a team leader at the practice’s Princess Road West offices.
Sarah said: “Emerging Talent is a great way to get to know people of a similar age and at a similar stage of your career. I would recommend anyone at the outset of their career to take a look at our group, say hello and join in.
“It is nice being part of the group and being in a position to help other people in our sector and encourage them to progress.
“It’s also great to mix with and get to know people from across the professions, including architects, contractors, quantity surveyors, solicitors, agents and those from the public sector.
“It’s good to get to know people on a social level and find out more about what role they play, and it is also useful when you work with them on projects.”
Events in the pipeline for 2022 include a bowling night, a quiz and a masterclass given by a senior professional in property or construction.
