A RISING star in the property industry has been nominated for a top award.

Poppi Little, from Barrow, has been announced as a finalist in the Rising Star category of the Propertymark Awards 2023.

As a sales negotiator for Poole Townsend Estate Agents, Poppi facilitates the sale of properties across Barrow, Dalton, and Askam-in-Furness.

She has been invited to London for the Propertymark Qualifications’ Awards Ceremony on Friday December 1.

The awards celebrate learners and employers who have attained outstanding success in the property sector.

The Rising Star award is reserved for someone who has been in the industry for less than three years and is leaving a mark by delivering tangible benefits to their employer and is seen as a future leader.

The Poole Townsend employee has been congratulated by her firm, who announced her nomination last week.

Poppi started her journey with Poole Townsend at the age of 14 when she first joined the team for her work experience.

Poppi said she was 'over the moon' to be going to London and that she is excited for the opportunity to represent the local area and Poole Townsend at such a prestigious event.

Being named as a 'future leader' in the industry has been an aspiration of Poppi’s from a young age. She is very excited about the possibility of being awarded this title. Poole Townsend said they are confident that she will achieve this.

Barrow is one of five offices across South Cumbria and the Furness Peninsula, making Poole Townsend one of the largest independent solicitors, estate agents and financial advisers in south Cumbria.
