"Winning Young Planner of the Year is a huge career highlight, and it means a lot to have been recognised for the ambassador work I’ve completed over recent years. I would highly recommend other Young Planners to enter next year, and my top tip would be to align your submission with the RTPI’s key values and current campaigns."
