Colin Wheeldon Director Terrain Surveys
Collin’s one of those rare guys who rarely sees the world outside himself. He started Terrain Surveys with his colleagues John and Neil because where they were, they weren’t being developed as people, so developing people became one of the key, if you like, the key ethos of Terrain Surveys. As well as doing a great job as topographical and measured building surveyors, it was also about developing the team to be the best that they could be and now, coming up to retirement, it’s about developing succession, having the systems in the business so that it really works properly, having the succession so literally the MD being appointed two years before his retirement so that he’s able to do his business apprenticeship while the founding Directors are still in place. There’s not many companies that have the wisdom to do that, so really interesting working with these guys.
