FHP News
FHP Property Consultants celebrates as another two surveyors achieve membership of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors following success at the first APC sitting of this year.
Jack Shakespeare MRICS and Chris Kenealy MRICS used their time in lockdown to their advantage by passing the assessment of professional competence to gain chartered status.
Jack comments:
“It was great to have something to focus on and to make use of my time at home. I’m pleased to have the recognition and status of Chartered Surveyor and can’t wait to celebrate properly.”
Before joining FHP, Jack attended Sheffield Hallam University where he achieved his undergraduate degree in Building Surveying and took a graduate surveying role at E.ON, helping roll out energy performance initiatives across the East and West Midlands.
Jack joined FHP in 2013 after the economy had recovered from the 2008 financial crisis and began his career in the Professional Services department specialising in Business Rates, Valuation, and Compulsory Purchase advice. Since joining the Retail and Leisure agency team, Jack has progressed to become an Associate Director and now has achieved Chartered Status with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
Chris, who is a graduate from Nottingham Trent University, joined FHP back in 2017 and has since become an integral part of the Professional Services department working on Compulsory Purchase, Business Rates, Valuation, and Lettings.
Chris comments:
“Despite the unusual circumstances we have all found ourselves in, I took the opportunity to focus and prepare for the APC professional exam. I have been successful and am really pleased with being awarded the status of a Chartered Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.”
Following the implementation of FHP’s APC programme led by Sian Cawthorne, Jack and Chris join a recent swathe of surveyors to achieve MRICS status including Chris Proctor, Mairead Gethings, and Liam Egan – with potentially more over the course of this year.
The APC process was adapted by the RICS for candidates to undertake their final assessment via Skype, which has proved successful so far, something which was already being implemented across Europe.
Founding Partner, David Hargreaves comments:
“I am so pleased to see Jack has passed his APC to become chartered, he continues to progress within FHP and in his career. At these tough times, this really is great news.”
Andrew Chapman, Director commented:
“I am delighted that Chris has qualified as a Chartered Surveyor, with this attainment being indicative of the quality that he brings to the extensive Professional Services team that we have here at FHP and testimony to Chris’ determination to succeed.”
