Overview

Join us for an informal fireside chat in conversation with Trevor Rushton, Group Chairman at Watts Group and a highly respected figure within the surveying profession.

The session will begin with Trevor sharing the story behind the Watts Pocket Handbook: its origins, journey and evolution and how real-world experience in practice helped shape its content.

The conversation will then open out into a wider discussion on the future of surveying, emerging industry challenges, and the opportunities ahead for the profession.

The event will conclude with a Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives, and engage directly with Trevor on career insights, leadership and the future outlook for the industry.

Designed as a relaxed and open discussion rather than a formal presentation, this session is suitable for RICS members at all stages of their surveying career.
