Callum’s Top 3 Career Highlights
- Double Nomination
I’m proud to have been nominated twice for the RICS Residential Surveyor of the Year Award. These nominations mean a great deal to me, recognising my commitment to excellence in residential surveying. I’ve always strived to deliver high quality work, embrace innovative approaches, and prioritise client satisfaction. These nominations affirm my standing among my peers and also motivate me to keep up the good work. - Founding WR Surveying
Launching WR Surveying has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career. Starting my own business was daunting, but I’m so proud of how quickly we’ve established ourselves as a trusted name in the industry. Achieving over 70 five-star Google reviews in our first year of operation has been particularly gratifying. It’s a testament to the hard work of our entire team and successful industry collaborations. - Giving Back
For me, being a business leader comes with a responsibility to contribute positively to society. One of my proudest moments was the installation of a defibrillator in our local area, helping to make our community safer and raising awareness about its importance. I have also been able to contribute to charitable events through sponsorship and donations, making sure I give back to the community that has always supported me.
How does it feel to be a finalist in the RICS Matrics Surveyor Awards 2024?
I’m over the moon to be shortlisted! When I started WR Surveying just a year ago, I never imagined I’d receive such an honour so soon. It’s a testament to the hard work of our team and the trust our clients place in us.
What’s your favourite thing about being a surveyor?
I enjoy providing peace of mind to property purchasers, helping them to make informed decisions and saving them money. Every day brings new challenges and rewards.
