“I’m looking forward to further developing the Inglis Rural Property business and continuing to grow the brand as a leading marketing agency in eastern Australia focusing on thoroughbred and broadacre farming operations.

“The rural property sector is a dynamic and exciting industry and has experienced significant growth the past 3-4 years; it is an exciting period to be working in the agricultural sector.

“Inglis Rural Property has long operated on the core principles of honesty, integrity and good service and upholding those traditions is front and centre of how I intend to tackle this new role.

Inglis Group Managing Director Mark Webster added: “Sam is a natural fit for this role and has long been ready for a senior management position.

“Since joining the company he has led the Rural Property division to five consecutive wins in the Real Estate Institution of New South Wales (REINSW) Award for Excellence for Rural Marketer of the Year, he is extremely passionate about his role and has a strong work ethic that has led to countless fantastic results over the past eight years.

“Inglis Rural Property is a dominant market leader and I look forward to seeing Sam continue to shine and flourish in his new role of CEO.’’
