2009 Women in the City Property Award

Charlotte Eddington

There are many fantastic, hard working women within the property industry and I was extremely honoured to have been nominated for this prestigious award.  I have worked to make the most of the opportunities that my company, CB Richard Ellis, has given me and very much hope that I have helped to give young women within the industry some inspiration to achieve their goals.  

“The business area of Energy & Sustainability, which I work within, is challenging but also rewarding and I feel that this award recognises the dedication that I have given to this relatively new business discipline to ensure that action is taken now to measurably reduce our impact on the environment.  I look forward to making even further strides in this field, working closely with our clients and with the team at CBRE, to continue driving change and make the most of the opportunities ahead.
