Our Rising Star for 2022 is Project Quantity Surveyor, Lucy Farrer

What the nominators said…
“Positive, ambitious, determined and kind” were just a few of the words used by nominators about Lucy. Her desire to push herself and help others on her career journey were also highlighted, along with her steadfast commitment to delivering an exemplary service to her client. It’s clear to see so many at Solomons can see Lucy going from strength-to-strength.

What the judges said…
Lucy joined Solomons from a legal background and from the get-go has been totally focused on honing her skills to be the very best she can be. It’s not just that professional development commitment which has set Lucy apart – it’s the fact that she is also keen to share her passion and knowledge with the wider team. She leapt forward at speed when we launched our Future Skills Academy and has been working closely with Mark Coburn (North West Regional Director) to produce a quarterly legal update to share with the wider team too. She is also a welcoming face at Papcastle Depot for both our own teams and visitors, taking great pride in representing us in the Cumbrian region. The future does indeed look bright for Lucy and with her sights set on achieving Chartered status next, we have no doubt that she will continue to share her knowledge and skills with others in a mentoring role as she progresses her career.

What Lucy said…
“I was really honoured to have received the Rising Star Award. Simply knowing that my work and sharing knowledge with others in the Solomons team is having a positive impact is more rewarding than receiving the award itself.”
