Danielle won the 'Rising Star' accolade for, among other things, her work managing the property for a client called Promarn, which saw her increase its value by over £1m. 

She also mentors other members of staff and is responsible for championing the importance of customer care among staff responsible for managing clients’ properties. 

Danielle Kirk said: “I was absolutely stunned when they read my name out. I was surrounded by hundreds of the most talented property management professionals in the business, so for them to select me was a real surprise. 

“The company I work for is very good at recognising people’s achievements and encouraging them to progress, but getting industry-level recognition for all the hard work I’ve put in over the last few years, was simply amazing and something I’ll never forget.”
