Member testimonial

Toby has made a dramatic different to the UK property world, championing Apprenticeships and broadening diversity of access to the industry. Toby joined Newmark straight from school over eight years ago, growing through their Apprentice Programme to become an Associate in the business today

He is deeply respected not only as a consummate RICS professional, operating at the highest standard across his work, but also as a champion for change. Toby has materially altered attitudes to apprentice intake, acting relentlessly to boost social mobility across the industry.

He has led Newmark’s Schools Outreach programme, raising awareness of apprenticeship opportunities and improving understanding of the real estate industry among students in schools and colleges. In 2025, he and the Newmark team delivered 46 outreach events, engaging more than 20,000 students across the UK.

He also initiated our first ‘Insight Week’, welcoming seven students from previously visited schools into our London office for a week of work experience. The initiative was incredibly well received, attracting over 200 applicants and leading to subsequent apprenticeship applications at Newmark.

Toby is instrumental in increasing apprenticeship uptake across the real estate sector and helping to build a more diverse and inclusive workforce for the future.
