Employee Spotlight – Alicia Lacey
Meet Alicia. She joined Potter Raper in 2023 and is based in our Cambridge office. Alicia graduated from Anglia Ruskin University in 2018 with a BSc in Building Surveying. With over 10 years of experience in the industry particularly in the social housing sector she has lots of experience in housing maintenance, repairs and improvements.

She’s passionate about keeping buildings in a good state of repair and is currently working on a wider project to help property managers maintain their portfolios more effectively.
‘I am a very hands-on, practically minded person, so the construction industry suits me perfectly. Since working in the industry, I have had exposure and experience in all different areas and I have developed a genuine enthusiasm for the maintenance and retrofit of existing dwellings with consideration to the property health and the occupier health. Whilst we embrace advancements in technology and regulations, in my opinion it is essential to not overlook the important of enhancing the structures that have served as valuable assets and homes for decades.’ – Alicia Lacey, Building Surveyor.
