March 2022. Announcement – Philippa Pickavance has decided to retire from property after enjoying a 40 year career. She would like to thank all her past clients for their loyal support and has enjoyed working with many property and legal professionals across the West Midlands and beyond. It’s been a blast!
In the process of retiring PPRE is no longer an RICS Registered Firm, but Philippa has retained her RICS membership under the Retired category. If any previous clients or contacts would like to contact her, her telephone numbers and emails currently remain the same and she is happy to recommend other practitioners where appropriate.
Philippa remains Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees at Smart Works Birmingham, a charity helping women in need back into employment and hopes to remain in touch with many of her business contacts over the coming years for the benefit of this charity.
