Sarah Thurmer

Sarah joined us as a PA / Lettings Assistant during summer of 2019 to help out with secretarial & PA work. As she has learnt more about the property industry she has taken a more prominent role within the commercial lettings department and now balances her role between managing the commercial side of the business and running the office day to day.

Sarah graduated in Modern Foreign Languages and has since worked in Europe and the UK in various secretarial and project management roles. Sarah converted to law in autumn 2018 when she moved back to Shrewsbury, her hometown, to pursue this change in career. She will complete her law conversion while working at HK&C and finds the two areas compliment each other well.

Sarah loves to travel and has a passion for European languages.
